Prairie Homestead

By Arleta Richardson

Book Overview

Since their mama died and their pa left, Ethan, Alice, Simon, and Will Cooper have not known much of a home. But now that the orphan train has taken them to Mr. and Mrs. Rush in Nebraska, their dreams of home may become a reality.

The kids discover that life on a farm is full of challenges. Ethan learns how to drive a plow, watch for snakes, and deal with bullies at the country school. Alice learns to slop the hogs and live with a big sister who isn't exactly welcoming. Will seems to be the only one of the four that their new mother likes. And Simon disappears--again.

The third book in the Beyond the Orphan Train series, Prairie Homestead is an adventure in new beginnings and lasting faith.

Wonderful Series of Books!

Wow, this was a very good family story. In this third book of the series, 4 orphan train siblings have found their home. Pretty soon, they find out their new family is moving from Nebraska to build a home in South Dakota. But, will everything go as planned? Will a happy & content life resume after all? I just couldn't wait to finish the book. Now I have high expectations for the last book in the series, to see just how this journey ends.
