About this title

Synopsis

Hannah Perley is just like so many almost-nine-year-old girls. She's a daughter, a sister, a neighbor, a friend. But lately her life has become much more challenging. There's the birth of a fragile orphan lamb whose life rests in Hannah's willing but unsure hands. And even more worrisome are the growing demands of the war. Everyone in Fairfield has been doing their best to support the colonial soldiers in their battle for American independence. But now the war has come into Hannah's very own home as her beloved brother Ben decides to join the fight. And as Ben's departure looms, Hannah finds that she must try a little harder, understand a little better perhaps grow up a little faster than she ever thought she would.

From the Back Cover

Hannah's life has become a series of challenges.

Hannah knows she should pay more attention to her needlework, but she just can't seem to get it right. She's much more comfortable nursing a fragile spring lamb back to health than counting stitches. And how can she concentrate on her sewing when the war is so close? Everyone in Fairfield is doing all they can to help the colonial army battle the British for independence. Even her brother Ben longs to join the fight. What can Hannah do to help?
