2016 Readers' Favorite Book Award Finalist for Children-Preteen!
It's April of 1917, and World War I has reached Elizabeth's family on their wheat farm in North Dakota. Although the battles are being fought overseas, the war has affected her in ways she couldn't have imagined. Elizabeth is thrust into a new role after her brother and father leave the farm to do their part in the war. And she's only eleven years old!
Having almost died as a toddler, Elizabeth has been babied most of her life. Now she must learn to help out around the farm; cooking, cleaning, and tending to the garden and livestock. No longer can she run from her responsibilities, as she did when her horse Rosie was giving birth. There were complications during the delivery, and Elizabeth panicked and froze. The foal didn't make it.
Elizabeth faces her biggest challenge yet as a huge Christmas Eve snowstorm rages outside, cutting her family off from any help; and her mother is about to have a baby! Her brother and sister are laid up with chicken pox. Does Elizabeth face her fears or run from them? Can she help her family, who need her more now than ever? Or will she retreat like she did when Rosie needed her?
