Overview
The Votive Offering is a novel written by Frances Smith Marriott and published in 1862.

Despite her unhappy circumstances, Edith tries to find joy in her life by pursuing her passion for art and music. She also finds solace in her friendship with a kind and compassionate doctor named Arthur.
