A far away sanatorium holds the only hope of saving her. Papa takes a grueling job at the shipyards to pay for her treatment. Mary Elisabeth must travel 350 miles from home to begin a new life on her uncle's farm. Her only connection to her parents is by letter. Will that be enough to give her courage to brave the challenges that await? "Real-life tales skillfully woven into a fictional setting, these country adventures ring true to life and human nature." -Elisabeth Adams, writer and editor "Everything comfortable about a whimsically relatable childhood, but with magical surprises along the way." -Jenni Marie, photographer and storyteller "From its tender beginning to the heartfelt climax, the author engages her readers with wit, charm, and endurance." -Carmen Peone, award-winning author
