Páginas: 238 Géneros: 12:FA:Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945) 12:FV:Historical fiction Sinopsis: Almost-spinster schoolteacher Rosette Cordelia Ramsdell married Otis Churchill on a Michigan farm in 1857. Her real-life journal recounts two years of homesteading, history hints at the next six decades, and the novel explores the truth. We meet Rosette in 1888 as she revises the wedding-day page of her journal. In lush detail, in the voices of Rosette and others, ,the novel traces how we both choose and suffer our destiny, how hopes come to naught and sometimes rise from the wreckage. , In a style reminiscent of ,Willa Cather, in a family saga that recalls the work of ,Marilynne Robinson, this novel brings us enduring themes of human life as Rosette and her friends and family make the most of the American pioneer life first detailed for most of us by ,Laura Ingalls Wilder. , Each narrator - Rosette, her brother Solomon, her mother Sally, ,her husband Otis, and briefly their son DeWitt - offers his or her own perspective on the events, giving insight into themselves as well as the other characters. Rosette tells her mother her dreams, and Sally discerns meaning her daughter does not see. Otis reveals his solitary and ambitious character, and Solomon is his foil - these two pursue life and love quite differently. DeWitt speaks in his own middle age of his western frontier homesteading, combining the characters of his parents while being at the same time his own man. ,The novel closes with an elderly Rosette reflecting on the stream of the life she envisioned in the journal of her twenties - ,what might have been, ,what was lost, and ,what might yet be. With authentic historical detail and modern insight, this novel conveys hopes and heartaches of our own world in a set

"With every successive wave of joy and sorrow, loss and longing, regret and resolve, broken hearts and healing hearts, readers will be swept into this powerful story and its intimately drawn cast of characters. . . . This is a provocative and delightful novel, not to be missed." --George Grant, author of *The Courage and Character of Theodore Roosevelt* and many other titles "A wonderfully written, engaging book. I am amazed at Cindy Marsch's ability to voice each of these characters believably, with light but appropriate use of metaphor, and I enjoyed living in their time." --Cindy Ward Rollins, recipient of the 2016 Russell Kirk Paideia Prize, CiRCE Institute "A poignant and compelling novel that hangs together like a vintage patchwork quilt" --Debbie Young, in her review for the novel being awarded the Awesome Indies Badge of Approval "Upon finishing this book, I can imagine most readers . . . will eagerly want to know more about this world, as well as the nameless gravestones that dot the American countryside. Cindy Marsch has brought these forgotten names to light, and for a brief moment, given them center stage as the heroes, rather than the stagehands of history." --Joshua Grasso, Professor of English at East Central University and author of *The Astrologer's Apprentice* and other titles "This is a close-up look at the struggles of real men and [women] who lived in difficult times and difficult places--not sugar-coated or sanitized, but a small celebration of the quiet victories in their lives." --Karen Glass, author of *Consider This: Charlotte Mason and the Classical Tradition*
