Time Period: 1808 Thirteen-year-old Betsy
Miller is shocked when her parents decide to move from their home
in Boston to the rugged frontier city of Cincinnati. They’ll take a
dangerous, weeks-long journey by boat down the Ohio River. If
that’s not bad enough, Betsy’s annoying cousin George is also
making the trip-with his equally annoying dog. Especially for girls
ages eight to twelve, this exciting story shares the emotional
turmoil of a young woman experiencing dramatic life changes-while
at the same time teaching important lessons of Christian faith and
American history. It’s an ideal book for personal reading or
homeschooling.
