Bookroo's summary

In 1908 Wisconsin, six-year-old Annie Dorawa's world is shaken when her father considers leaving their cherished farm for town life. Amidst family mischief and community ties, Annie grapples with the fear of change. As she navigates the joys and challenges of farm life with her siblings, Annie discovers the strength and warmth of a family bound by faith and love. Will they truly leave the farm, or find a way to stay rooted in their beloved land?

From the publisher

Life for six-year-old Annie Dorawa on Winding Valley Farmjust down the road from the Pellowskis’ “first farm in the valley”is busy and happy. Then one day, Annie hears her father speak about not planting that year, but instead moving into town. Is it really possible that they might leave their beautiful farm? What could her father be thinking about? This new anxiety, along with that inner imp of mischief always threatening to get her into trouble (and which finally does when brother John is killing chickens at the chopping block), hover over Annie as she works and plays with her sister and five brothers immersed in the vigorous life of their American-Polish community. Despite the discovery that life is not always easy or as she’d like it to be, Annie begins to realize what warm security is to be found in a hardworking family rooted in faith and love.
