(2) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Colleen, unable to deny a stranger's deathbed plea, finds herself caught in an agonizing ethical dilemma. Promising to protect the woman's new baby from her abusive husband, Colleen takes the child home to her own mother--who is unaware that her own infant didn't survive and that Colleen has switched the babies. The intriguing premise will draw readers in to this suspenseful and well-told tale set in the pioneer prairie.
