This is the story of the daily
struggle to survive on the prairie in the late 1800's. Abbie Mackenzie
Deal marries and moves to Nebraska where she raises her family on the prairie.
The family survives drought, hard times and a grasshopper plague. She also
survives the loss of her husband. Through it all, Abbie survives and carries
a lantern of love for her family.
Booktalk #2
I think that "A Lantern in
Her Hand" is a great, historic story about surviving life on the prairie.
The family survives drought, hard times, and grasshopper plagues. She also
survives the loss of her husband, her 4th child, and many other friends
and family. Through it all, Abbie survives and carries a lantern of love
for her family. I honestly believe that many readers, young and old, will
enjoy this inspiring story of struggle for many years to come.
