reviewed Julia's Mending on
Book description: The year is 1887 and twelve-year-old Julia Applebee has been shipped off to her cousin's home in the small upstate New York town of Liberty Falls while her missionary parents go off to China. Used to living in the heart of New York City with her grandmother, and having her beautiful clothes made by private dressmakers, Julia wants nothing to do with the country or her "country cousins." To make matters worse, on her second day in Liberty Falls she falls through a hole in the barn and has to wait 24 hours for a doctor to come and set her leg.

Through the next few months, Julia has one wish - to be rescued. But as her leg begins to mend, so does her attitude. As her anger and frustration slowly subside, Julia begins to understand the importance of family, as well as the importance of giving her cousins and Liberty Falls a second chance.
