The harvest is good, and six-year-old Odella is eager to take part in all the work needed to keep things running smoothly. Until now, Odella has had a happy life, full of family, fun, stories, and music, with nothing more to worry about than being told she's too young to help. Suddenly, though, circumstances force Odella's brothers and sisters away from the farm. Each goodbye brings Odella greater sadness and heaps more responsibility upon her small shoulders. Odella is glad to be useful, but discovers she would rather have her family back together again than anything else in the world. But will her dream be realized? The Year of Plenty sets the stage for a heartwarming series, The Newcombe Creek Chronicles. Set on an Eastern Kentucky farm on the brink of the Great Depression, The Year of Plenty introduces the delightful Fraleys, who will welcome you as you step into their lives through the pages of this book. The series follows Odella and her family through the years of the Depression and into World War II. Though faced with economic hardship and personal tragedy, the Fraley family not only surives, but thrives, due to their reliance on faith and family. children's,children's books,fiction,historical fiction,literature and fiction,teen and young adult,6 - 8 years,9 - 12 years Historical Fiction, Frontier Girl Press<
