• Don't Bother... 10 March, 2008
This book turned out to be a waste of money and time. I was very disappointed. I suffered about 1/3 through, skimmed the rest, then put it in a Goodwill box. The writing is very poor, very boring, and very "empty." There is no substance, no inspiration... no nothin'!
I am always searching diligently for good Christian fiction and non-fiction for my children to read. I bought this for my daughter, who is an avid fan of "Little House" books, yet has grown past them. This book was recommended by a company that I had trusted ONCE before to recommend sound Christian fiction. But I guess that was just one-time "luck." The first book I read recommended by this company was one of the best Christian fiction stories I have ever read. This book, " A Lantern in Her Hand," --a complete flop. It read like a boring soap opera. I actually told my husband it was like a cheap romance novel without any romance. And it is not a Christian book, either, by the way, even though it lacks any blatant immorality. I'm going to stick to Lamplighter books for now!

• Hopes And Dreams Of Girlhood And Life 05 May, 2008
This is the story of a young girl who dreamed big dreams and had great hopes of her life. Instead of her life fulfilling her dreams, however, she spent her days baking bread, piecing quilts, and taking care of children. Her children eventually accomplished the great things Abbie had hoped to do, but they seemed to care little for the life Abbie herself had led. It was a disappointing book for me, but it aptly brought to life the hopes and dreams of a young girl, and how real life prevents her from living her dreams. It did inspire me to analyze my dreams, to see if they are realistic, and to consider whether God might have other plans. Good dreams may need to be exchanged for what is best for us.

• Insights About Life That Still Apply. 22 July, 2007
Recently had a family reunion in Nebraska to return ashes of a family member. This book was suggested because it would give one a real feel as to what life was like for the early pioneer families.
The book was a bit silly at first; but as the young lady matured so did her actions and speech. I ended up enjoying it very much and enjoying the insights about life and family that still apply.

• My Favorite Book 09 December, 2007
I've read this book 3 times in the past several years and the older I get, the better the book becomes. Abby is like an old friend. It doesn't matter how long between visits, you can just sit down and pick up where you left off. This should be required reading of all mothers.
