To help the family earn extra money, May's father drops her off fifteen miles away from their Kansas soddy to the Oblinger homestead to help a newly married woman adjust to the prairie life. May lives out her days, away from her family, doing the chores Mrs. Oblinger is suppose to do. Then she flees back to Ohio with Mr. Oblinger pursuing her, leaving May to fend for herself.
Two struggles occur within this story-the main plot plus May's acceptance of herself and her struggles with reading.
*Highly recommend.
*Borrowed from the library.
A novel in verse.
The author has also written
Blue Birds (published in March 2015) which looks interesting (1587 in Roanoke Virginia).
