Surprised me!

When I first saw the title of this book, I assumed it was a book somehow connected to my favorite author, Laura Ingalls Wilder. It is not, but I proceeded to read it anyway because it was about frontier life and the trials of living in a hostile environment. The title comes from a small patch of Walnut trees which are planted beside a newly built church in this growing town. It is the story of a family and the changes and traumas they go through as the children get older. It is a pleasing read for any pioneer-era fan.
