Bookroo's summary

In 1707, eight-year-old Sarah Noble journeys with her father into the untamed wilderness to build a new home. As they navigate the dark woods filled with unknowns, Sarah must find courage in the face of fear. Left alone while her father fetches the rest of the family, she befriends the local Native Americans, discovering that true bravery lies in embracing fear. Will Sarah's newfound courage be enough to sustain her until her family's return? This inspiring tale of resilience and friendship explores the delicate balance between fear and bravery in a young girl's heart.

From the publisher

In 1707, young Sarah Noble and her father traveled through the wilderness to build a new for their family. “Keep up your courage, sarah Noble”, her mother had said, but Sarah found that it was not always easy to feel brave inside. The dark woods were full of animals and Indians, too, and Sarah was only eight! The true story of Sarah’s journey is inspiring. And as she cares for her father and befriends her Indian neighbors, she learns that to be afraid and to be brave is the greatest courage of all.
