Set at the beginning of this century, this good "old-fashioned" read, with its reassuring, traditional virtues, is sure to be an inspiration for today.
At its center is Elizabeth "Libby" Watson, a plucky 17-year-old whose dreams of becoming a writer are sidetracked when she must care for her widowed father and her brothers in an Illinois mining town. Then one day a letter changes Libby's world. Her late uncle has bequeathed his general store to Libby and she travels to a neighboring town to attend to all the details.
In Edgewood, Libby discovers a community built on hard work and en enduring faith that comes as naturally as the fresh air on the rolling prairie. But she also senses not everyone welcomes her and the news of her good fortune.
