Hattie Big Sky, a historical fiction book for young adults is available as a Book Group To Go bag for your book group. After inheriting her uncle's homesteading claim in Montana, sixteen-year-old orphan Hattie Brooks travels from Iowa in 1917 to make a home for herself. Despite many hardships, Hattie forges ahead, sharing her adventures with her friends--especially Charlie, fighting in France--through letters and articles for her hometown paper.
Her backbreaking quest for a home is lightened by
her neighbors, the Muellers. But she feels threatened by pressure to be a
"Loyal" American, forbidding friendships with folks of German descent. Despite
everything, Hattie's determined to stay until a tragedy causes her to discover
the true meaning of home.
