from friends of the library book cart. A very old LaVyrle book.

Historical love story set in Minnesota. Swedish Karl advertises for a mail-order bride. Irish orphaned Boston Anna, answers and sets out with her 13yo brother. No matter that she can't read, write, cook, garden or anything that Karl thought. A lot of description about what it was like to build a fire, cook, sweeten with watermelon syrup, yeast from hops, etc, as Karl teaches Anna and James how to survive in the wilderness.

Released for the 3 every week and A-Z release challenges

If you aren't familiar with Bookcrossing, take a few minutes to check out this very cool site. Bookcrossers LOVE books, and more than anything, they love to read books and then set them free for other people to find and enjoy. I would love it if you would leave a journal entry -- you can say where you found the book or how you liked it when you read it. Then, when you are ready, pass it along for someone else to enjoy! Thanks and happy reading!
