(read aloud)
This was a delightful evocative story about a Montana one-room schoolhouse and a family that lost a mother and a community that lost a teacher. The family found a housekeeper who didn't cook, and a teacher in her brother. This was particularly fun to read with a one-room school graduate who attests to the accuracy of its portrayal. The whole book is well written but there are flashes of astonishing prose and the land, the people, and their ways are handled with wonderful care and kindness. A treat for the heart and ears.
