He has written a letter to Mama saying that he is here, in the US and very close to where they live. He asks her to meet him in a nearby town if she will forgive him and welcome him. Of course Mama will forgive him and welcome him! But meet him? She's pregnant! She can't! So she sends Kate and Anders. But when the kids run into the timber swindler stealing timber from the nearby farms and run into trouble at the river, it looks as though they won't be able to meet Ben after all. If they don't show up he will think they don't care and leave again! | 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 |
