This was a very touching story that really tugged at my heart strings. It follows a pair of young children through a tragic accident which their father was killed and mother severely injured to a very different life in the mountains with their great grandmother. The children went from living in New York to living on a farm with no electricity and had to learn to get up early to tend to chores like milking the cows and slopping the hogs. They met some rough characters and learned some hard lessons but they also met some good people along the way. I'm glad I read this story and I appreciate the authors decision to look back at history and the stories of his ancestors. I agree, we need to learn from them instead of letting them fade away from memory.
