Esther's family moves from Chicago to a farm in Wisconsin. The Depression has caused her father to lose his job so they try to find success in farming. Esther loves the farm but slowly the family's food rations dwindle.
This book offers an insight into the Depression era but explores so much more---contending with Old Country superstitions, defining love, and becoming one's own person.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: check for understanding, synthesizing, inferring-character traits
