- A delightful story filled with adventure and heroic acts that readers will love.
- Fast-paced and well-written.
Hannah York is only fourteen, but she finds herself as the woman of the house as her family creates a home along Santa Rosa Creek during the 1860s. Her mother's death soon after their arrival in southern Utah tests Hannah to the limit, as the family battles crickets, floods, and drought.
Her twelve-year-old brother, Caleb, who has always been her friend, resents her new authority and rebels at Hannah's orders, claiming she must be the "bossiest critter" in the Utah Territory. It takes a mountain lion, renegade Indians, and a domineering aunt to make the Yorks see how much they truly rely on each other.
Hannah's story will keep you captivated as she confronts her challenges, and in the end, truly stands tall.
Reviews-
Hannah captured my heart. She is real, with worries that any modern girl can identify with, but the unusual pioneer background of isolated Southern Utah adds a level of depth to the story ... the ending was a triumphant realization that we can come to terms with our fears and challenges.
A beautiful story and delightful reading for young and old aike. It is filled with excitement, humor and the everyday struggles of pioneer life. Shirley has a talent for weaving words into pictures. I felt like I was the one facing the mountain lion and defying the raging river.
