MAY B. By: Caroline Starr Rose Ages 9-12

MAY B.  By: Caroline Starr Rose
May B. is sent to help at a homestead fifteen miles from home. Her pa promises it is only till Christmas. May B. is to work for these newlyweds, cook, clean and help out with a homesick bride. But when the bride runs off and her husband follows, May is left on her own. Soon she realizes that no one is coming back. She is in a sod house in the middle of nowhere. It will be five months before her father comes to fetch her. Told in prose, you feel like you are in the sod house with May B. hoping that she will have enough food to make it till Christmas. Ages 9-12 Schwartz and Wade $15.99
