A Mile in Her Moccasins

Is the new schoolmaster as scary as Susan imagines him to be? Bert was stunned-was his family really being hounded out of town just because he had failed to control his anger and tongue? Appearing like a ghost in the sugar bush, Brigit was a real mystery-that is, until Esther had a chance to walk a mile in her moccasins. From the steppes of Russia to the open plains of Manitoba the Warkentin family travels ten thousand miles by train and steamers. Anna wonders how God will see them through the hardships of a long, cold winter and then a summer of grasshoppers. Ruth frowns at her little sister’s stubbornness in accepting help, but will accept the help her Mother has to offer her?

These, and a few more stories will give you a glimpse of life for children during years of pioneering in the 1700 and 1800. Though the way of living for today is certainly different from what it was for them, we must still learn the same lessons about life as they did.
