Editorial Reviews

“Heartwarming…Fans of the first two books will enjoy learning more about this resourceful and loving family.” Publishers Weekly
“An excellent work of historical fiction, a satisfying sequel, and an inspiring tale about love and forgiveness.” School Library Journal
“MacLachlan’s spare yet elegant prose conveys the deep feelings of the characters as they work through a difficult time…Series fans will welcome this, but it’s also a solid offering that can stand on its own.” Booklist
“Newbery Medalist MacLachlan continues the story of the Witting family, with the believable characters readers have come to know and love…MacLachlan’s appreciative readers will savor this new addition to the chronicle of a delightful family, and many will be hoping for another volume in the series so we can learn precocious Cassie’s story as she grows older.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
