Adapted from an old book written in Germany in the mid-1800s, this is the story of Elisa Dawson, a young girl whose mother dies. Elisa is sent to live with her Aunt Felicity, a crotchety old woman who owns a sheep farm. Life is hard for Elisa, but she meets the local pastor and his wife and they become dear friends who help her have a closer walk with God. Tragedy strikes again for young Elisa, but then something joyous happens to bring her showers of blessings. (143pp. illus. Masthof Press, 2010.)
