Winner 2018 INSPY Award"The writing is solid and as compelling as the first novel, and Pearl is as charming a narrator as ever. " - Historical Novel Society"I believed it would have been a sin to stay inside when God had sent us such fine weather. According to Pastor Ezra Anderson, sin was the reason we'd got in the dusty mess we were in. The way I saw it, that day was God's way of letting us know He wasn't mad at us anymore.

They may not be perfect, but they love her and they all love each other, come what may. That's one thing Pearl no longer questions.

Susie Finkbeiner does it again. I read A Cup of Dust and had to find the second in the series and lucky for me, there was one left. Finkbeiner's style of writing is brilliant and touching, and the story is again told by 10 year old Pearl. The hardships she has endured thus far have been more than a child her age should ever have to bear, but she garners her strength from her faith, which she learned from her grandmother, and her parents. She is especially close to her father. Set in Oklahoma, the family has to make some difficult decisions that change their lives. A must read that you will never forget and want to re-read.
