Eleanor’s heart quickened at Teddy’s menacing growl.
She dropped next to the tri-colored Australian Shepherd and soothed his bristling fur. She followed his gaze into the pines. “What do you see there, boy?”
He growled again and bared his teeth, eyes focused on something in the woods.
Little does Elanor know the evil hiding in the woods that morning. But hours later, in the hot morning sun, as she and her family gather hay for their dairy farm, plumes of smoke rise in the distance. They arrive to find their large log home and barn fully engulfed in flames. Their savings, hidden in a milk can—gone. And so is Teddy!
It is the Summer of 1931, the Great Depression is in full swing, and millions of people are out of work. Two weeks after the fire, Eleanor and her siblings help her father load the farm truck with donations of food and clothes from neighbors and friends, and mattresses purchased from the sale of milk cows. After one last stop at the farm, they head to the big city.
Over the next year, Eleanor battles guilt for what she saw, but didn’t stop. As her mother sinks into depression, Eleanor is determined to guard what remains of her family. She works to help provide food and clothing as they face homelessness, bitter cold, and discrimination.
“This one of those stories that reaches out and tugs at your heart…a novel that is good for your soul…” Panner, Bookbub
