(2) 4-6 Set in the early nineteenth century just after the War of 1812, this sequel to Journey to Nowhere is a tragedy brightened only by the resiliency of its narrator, twelve-year-old Remembrance Nye. The family's crops are killed by frost, and then Mem's mother, homesick and depressed, retreats from reality, neglecting her newborn daughter. The novel is a well-paced, bracingly realistic portrait of pioneer life.
Reviewer: Mary M. Burns | Horn Book Magazine Issue: January, 1999
