Bookroo's summary

In 1850, young Faith faces a dilemma as her family prepares to journey west to California. Her cherished chicken, Josefina, is deemed useless by her Pa, who insists there's no room for her on the wagon. As they travel, Faith works on a quilt, each block telling a story of their adventure. Can Josefina surprise everyone and earn her place in their new life? Discover the heartwarming tale of friendship and resilience in 'The Josefina Story Quilt.'
