NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER β’Β NEWBERY HONOR AWARD WINNER
A classic YA novel about a teenage girl searching for a sense of home and family that celebrates the true spirit of independence on the American frontier.
For most of her life, sixteen-year-old Hattie Brooks has been shuttled from one distant relative to another. Tired of being Hattie Here-and-There, she summons the courage to leave Iowa and move all by herself to Vida, Montana, to prove up on her late uncleβs homestead claim.
Β
Under the big sky, Hattie braves hard weather, hard times, a cantankerous cow, and her own hopeless hand at the cookstove. Her quest to make a home is championed by new neighbors Perilee Mueller, her German husband, and their children. For the first time in her life, Hattie feels part of a family, finding the strength to stand up against Traft Martinβs schemes to buy her out and against increasing pressure to be a βloyalβ American at a time when anythingβor anyoneβGerman is suspect. Despite daily trials, Hattie continues to work her uncleβs claim until an unforeseen tragedy causes her to search her soul for the real meaning of home.
Β
This young pioneer's story is lovingly stitched together from Kirby Larsonβs own family history and the sights, sounds, and scents of homesteading life.
