Product Description

Abbie Mackenzie dreamed of becoming a fine lady, devoted to music and art. But at eighteen Abbie found a different dream, abandoning a comfortable life to marry handsome, quiet Will Deal. Together, they eagerly accepted the challenge of homesteading in Nebraska territory. For close to seventy years, readers have cherished Abbie's story--an inspiring story of struggle against unexpected perils, of love and laughter, of the land she helped conquer and the family she raised.

A Lantern in Her Hand 5 5 3 3

This is a great book! Almost every Mother can surely relate to Abbie Deal, the main character. I would highly recommend the book for anyone & everyone to read. July 29, 2010

Aldrich captures the very heart of the pioneer spirit, and portrays how those people developed true character by their hard work ethic and trust in God's ways. There is not the obvious theme of Christianity in the book, but there is the foundational truth that we are here by God's plan. A deep sense of what real life is all about comes through Alrich's writings and makes us realize how shallow we live in this modern age. July 2, 2007
