(2) 4-6 Determined to stay on his South Dakota farm despite drought and despair, Rachel's father sends the children to stay with their aunt. Letters and a painting stored in the aunt's house reconnect Rachel to the mother she barely remembers, but returning home, she learns that Pa plans to marry the local schoolmarm. The tidy conclusion turns sentimental, but many readers will find the book a pleasing diversion.
