" It's about a farm family in the 1940s, who is struggling after the mother dies. Not a book that will sell like Harry Potter but I think it will definitely appeal to those into the American Girl books and the Dear America series. "

" Quiet and remarkable story about moving on after grief. Aunt/stepmother story line took me by surprise, but I'm sure that was not extremely uncommon back then.
