This story is based on the real life of a young pioneer girl who accompanies her father into the Northeastern wilderness to build a house. Profound and yet simple, the story illuminates the journey from fear and doubt to a lasting hope and courage. Sarah’s courage develops throughout the story, ultimately leading her to share in friendship, respect, kindness, and joy. Simple rustic illustrations grace the pages of this early chapter book.
