A Trail of Crumbs: A Novel of the Great Depression

(Book #2 in the Pearl Spence Series)

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. Just maybe He'd seen fit to forgive us."

Pearl Spence has been through more in her young life than most folks could handle. But through it all, her family has been by her side. 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.

But the end of her beautiful day signals the beginning of the end of her secure life.

Now her family is fleeing their Oklahoma wasteland. Pearl isn't sure she'll ever see home or happiness again. Are there any crumbs powerful enough to guide her back to the dependable life she once knew?

The strong narrative voice of Finkbeiner's young protagonist from A Cup of Dust returns in this gritty yet hopeful sequel, sure to please her many fans.

Trail of Crumbs

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.
