Bookroo's summary
Anna and Caleb's new life on the prairie is threatened by a relentless drought. As fires rage and water vanishes, Sarah takes them to safety in Maine, leaving Papa behind. Separated by miles, Anna wonders if their family will ever be whole again. Will the rains return, or will the prairie claim their dreams? Discover the power of family and resilience in this heartfelt journey.
From the publisher
Sarah came to the prairie from Maine to marry Papa. But that summer, a drought turned the land dry and blown. Fires swept across the fields and coyotes came to the well in search of water. So Sarah took Anna and Caleb back east, where they would be safe. Papa stayed behind. He would not leave his land.
