She will never forget him, but she thinks her mom needs to marry again. Her mom needs someone to care for her and Kate. But when God answers Kate's prayers with a framer from Wisconsin, Kat isn't so sure she wants this anymore! It would mean moving away from her friends to a place her friend tells her is scary and dangerous. It would mean getting not only a little sister, but two brothers - which her friend has also warned her about. Kate doesn't quite know what to do! God got her into this mess, can he make something good come of it? | Extra Notes: | This series is designed to portray what life was like for Swedish immigrants and their families in the northwest around the early 1900's. Kate has to learn how to become a blended family, get along with her new siblings and make new friends. In the midst of it she has to learn a few things about God and His uunconditional love for her and the way He wants her to treat others. I would recommend it for girls as young as 10 or 11 and as old as 13 or 14. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 4 |
