Good read for a tween-ager who liked the Laura Ingalls Wilder series of "Little House" stories. Frontier family suffers a tragedy that puts the oldest daughter in charge of a household long before she was ready to give up her childhood. Also discusses a family's secrets that can arise after the loss of a mother. Good descriptions of how farm and household chores were accomplished by pioneers. As in many frontier stories, the schoolmarm plays a central part in helping the lonely girl.
