Please help mama (she is haveing spills)

The book Frozen Summer is sad, eventful, and exciting . It's about a girl named Rememberance Nye. Her family had moved to New York the year before, and her mother had just given birth to a baby girl named Lily in the middle of an unusual blizard in the middle of June. A summer frost killed all of their crops, and all that remained were sweet peas. Rememberance's (Mem's) mother started having unusual spills. She wasn't in the proper condition to take care of a new baby. Mem had to give up going to school so she could take care of her mother, brother, and little sister. My favorite part was when Mem's teacher came to live with mem's family and helped take care of baby Lily. I hope you will read this book by Mary Jane Auch, I believe you will enjoy it as I have.

A brave pioneer girl battles to protect her family

The second book of the Remembrance Nye trilogy is set in the Wilds of the New York frontier in the early 1800s. The weather is crazy during the family's tough first year on the frontier. Mysterious snow in June and hard frosts in July ruin the crops the pioneers have painstakingly planted. This brave girl holds the family together as her hapless father tries his best to beat the weather to feed the family, and Momma struggles with loneliness that pushes her to the edge. But Mem's positive can-do attitude is an inspiration to those around her, and a salvation for little Lilly. Extremely realistic, it gave us a vivid picture of how truely hard the early settlers had to work -- and the dangers they faced. Very well researched and compelling -- we can't wait for the third in the series!

The sequal to Journey to Nowhere.

In this sequal to Journey to Nowhere, Rememberance Nye, called Mem by her family, is twelve years old in 1816, and it's been a year since her family left Connecticut to begin a new life on the frontier. But Papa's crops failed because of strange summer frosts, and since Mama gave birth to baby Lily, she's been having terrible spells. This is an excellant story of a pioneer family fighting to survive in the wilderness. I can't wait to read the third book which will complete this trilogy.
