About this Book

Pa was a man of few words. He had never been to a school and never read a book, but he could work from sunup to sundown, seldom uttering a word, and go without food all day if he was anxious to get something finished... I don't ever remember him-or Ma either, for that matter-giving one of us kids a hug or telling us that he loved us. I guess they did. It is 1917 in the small town of Chandler, Oklahoma-opportunities are few and potential for disaster is great. After their father is killed in an accident, the Bahn family is unable to maintain the family farm. The widow Bahn has secured a place for herself and baby Martha, but there isn't room for her daughter and three sons. Fourteen-year-old Sarah Bahn and her three siblings are on their own, facing incredible odds and heartbreaking circumstances. As the Bahn children part ways, Sarah seeks the things that her cold, distant parents always lacked: friendship, love, and faith. With the guidance of three strong, courageous Christian women, Sarah's dramatic passage from adolescence into young adulthood also becomes a journey to discover her loving, faithful God. Underpinned by the challenges and tribulations of the Great Depression, Sarah's story will leave you with hope and a profound sense of amazement at what a mighty God we serve.
