As many households suffer affliction and little help is available, Stella is required to shoulder duties far beyond her years. When sickness finally departs, she must attempt to understand the devastation left in its wake.Early Frost is the story of a young girl whose life will be forever transformed by the hardships she has experienced. But the same hardships will encourage development of her resilience and the beginnings of wisdom, as she takes her first tentative steps into womanhood.
