Betsy and her family live on the wide Nebraska prairie. Homesteads are few and far between, and she wishes she had a friend to visit with.
Then a new family, with a daughter named Emmeline, comes to the prairie. Betsy is certain she'll have a friend at last, but Emmeline misses the city she left behind. Can Betsy help Emmeline learn to appreciate her new home? Will they ever be friends?
Stacey Schuett's warm, rich art illuminates Nancy Smiler Levinson's gentle portrait of mid-nineteenth century prairie life, community, and friendship.
