Do the Martins have what it takes to not only survive but thrive in their new prairie life? Told through the eyes of a twelve-year-old girl, this new middle-grade novel from New York Times-bestselling author Sandra Dallas explores one family's homesteading efforts in 1900s Colorado. And heartbreaking losses challenge their faith. Natural disasters such as storms and locusts threaten their success.
But while the land is free, farming is difficult and it's a hardscrabble life. So twelve-year-old Belle Martin, along with her mother and six siblings, moves west to join her father. All they have to do is live on the land for five years and farm it. The US government offers 320 acres of land free to homesteaders.
In 1910, after losing their farm in Iowa, the Martin family moves to Mingo, Colorado, to start anew. Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.
