<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>It's a hardscrabble life for three sisters growing up on a Midwestern farm in the throes of the Great Depression. But when young Nellie discovers the tiny hand of a dead baby while digging for pirate treasure, rumors begin to fly.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Three sisters living on a Midwestern farm in 1934 narrate their stories of hardship, crime, fantasy, and love. Each voice is distintive and conveys its own interpretation of shared events: the appearance of a sinister revivalist preacher, hunger-driven train riders, and the backwoods discovery of a dead baby. Seven-year-old Nellie see the world through magical eyes with visions of local Indians, sky dancers, and a boy from outer space. Eleven-year-old Irene is arrogant, over-confident, and judgmental to a fault. Flora, at seventeen, wants nothing more that to find a husband, but a vicious rumor quashes her hops. Through their voices we view their worlds and those of Ma and Pa, whose quiet resilience reveals the ongoing struggle to survive.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book is about so much more than just the Depression. It's about the hopes and dreams of people . . . and their strength and belief in goodness and kindness and helping take care of your neighbors. Yes, there's a mystery and a couple of deaths involved here, too, but when I finished this wonderful novel, I was left with the warmth, caring, and comfort that came from the youngest sister . . . about life, love, and imagination."
