a historical novel, set in Wisconsin, for young readers (ages 8 to 12)
In pioneer Wisconsin in 1877, Carrie Heidenworth, survivor of the Great Peshtigo Fire, works to rebuild the Heidenworth homestead. Along with her longtime friends, Carrie befriends a neighboring girl named Jaz, who becomes Carrie’s energetic helper.
Harvest time brings friends and neighbors together to pick the apple crop, and a school is built nearby.
Of course, adventures occur, and in the midst of it all, an elusive stranger appears.
With typical kindness, Carrie seeks to discover the man’s surprising story.
This is the fourth book in the dramatic, uplifting, and award-winning Carrie Heidenworth series, by Wisconsin author Nelda Johnson Liebig, a saga of survival, faith, and friendships in northeastern Wisconsin (near Green Bay).
The wonderful books, in the style of the beloved Little House on the Prairie books, occur in the aftermath of the little-known Peshtigo Fire, a fast-moving blaze that occurred the same night as the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
