In this book club recap conversation, Sarah, Erin, and Rachel discuss themes and ideas in a literary work almost lost to history: Elizabeth Goudge’s The Little White Horse .

Why would an author like Elizabeth Goudge, once a bestseller, go out of fashion? How many genres can one little book be squarely in at the same time? How does this luminous coming-of-age fairy tale school us in the art of dealing with old sins? And what even is an “ideal woman,” anyway?

At the end of the episode, Rachel reveals the Ladies’ summer read book club pick for 2026: Ryan Tinetti’s The Quiet Ambition: Scripture’s Surprising Antidote to Our Restless Lives .
