Isabella Alden was the best-selling Christian fiction author of her time. Born in 1841, her first book, Helen Lester, was published in 1865. With that success, Isabella became a tireless writer of books and short stories that explained God's plan for salvation and reinforced Christian values. A talented writer, her inventive plots and wonderful dialog were featured in over 100 books, many of which were translated into different languages and sold around the world.

Isabella was a friend to evangelist D.L. Moody, a well-loved instructor at Chautauqua Institution, a founding member of the Christian camp at Mount Hermon, and a popular public speaker. In these roles she interacted and befriended the best and brightest Christian fiction authors of her day.
