"I reckon ye will love readin' it!"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
In 1934, life has turned into a dangerous adventure for Hildy. Her family just plain ran off, leaving her alone, in the Ozarks. With the help of her cousin, Ruby, they go on a treacherous journey together, that's packed with obstacles..... which is complete with their very own merciless pursuer. With all the commotion going on, Hildy is also undertaking the experience of strengthening her lost relationship with God. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The storyline is very original and each chapter's cliffhanger make the book all the more tempting!
