A Gathering of Days - by Joan W. Blos - A New England Girls Journal, 1830-32

I, Catherine Cabot Hall, aged 13 years, 6 months, 29 days . . . do begin this book. So begins this journal of a girl coming of age in nineteenth-century New Hampshire. Catherine records both the hardships of pioneer life and its many joys. Even as she struggles with her mother's death and father's eventual remarriage, Catherine's indomitable spirit makes this saga an oftentimes uplifting and joyous one. -Paperback -Ages 8-12 -Great Condition -A John Newbery Medal winner -Bundle with other items in my closet and save money -Smoke Free Home -Questions are appreciated -Offers welcome :)
