Hurry and download your FREE copy of Farm Girl by Karen Jones Gowen (reg. $4.99)!
“Set in the Dust Bowl of the American West, this true account of a child coming of age on a 1920’s Nebraska farm recaptures an era. Young Lucille Marker experiences survival during the Depression, one of the worst dust storms in history, and finally the disintegration of the close-knit community in which she grows up. Readers who like the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder or Willa Cather will enjoy Farm Girl. It takes place on the Marker farm, located near Red Cloud, the locale of Willa Cather’s Nebraska novels. Farm Girl takes one back to a time and place that no longer exists in American culture. Richly photographed throughout with over sixty authentic photos documenting the people and places of the story, this historical, easy-to-read book is suitable for use in the classroom.”
“Easily as good as Carol Ryrie Brink’s Caddie Woodlawn, Farm Girl is beautifully done and should be a treat for anyone who loves reading historical books. . . . It is a treasure that will be enjoyed by the young and old alike.”
I love the Little House books and Caddie Woodlawn, so I’m looking forward to reading Farm Girl as well! Sounds like a great resource for homeschoolers too.
