Afraid to stand up to her mean little brother who makes fun of her, afraid to tell her mom how weak and sick she really is, afraid to stand up for her drawings, afraid to tell anyone who she really is. Meg lives with her family of German immigrants in 1844. Slavery is about to explode politics and there are hints of that here and there. Right now, most of Meg's family is concerned with daily life. Her dad builds furniture, she and her siblings attend school, her mom raises chickens, gardens, cooks, sews, cleans - all the domestic chores Meg hates. No matter what, she just tires out and can't seem to do as much as her mom wants. Her siblings pick on her for her weakness, blaming it on her head being in the clouds or making excuses, but Meg truly isn't as strong as others. Will she ever find the courage to be who God made her to be? | Extra Notes: | The Sisters In Time series does it's best to tell a historically accurate story about a young girl in a different time period. The goal is for young girls to see the similarities between themselves and the girls back in history. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 3 |
