N2  - A country in the depths of an economic depression. A cruel act by strangers. A family plunged into the trial of their lives. And a ten-year-old girl determined to do all it takes to guard what remains of her family. She has to--it's her fault they are in this unimaginable nightmare. The complex forces of the Great Depression stack against Eleanor and her family as they struggle to survive. Hunger, homelessness, harassment, brutal cold, and mental illness threaten to break them, both as a family and individuals. Through all of this, Eleanor grapples to hold her family together. But what can a ten-year-old girl do in the middle of the 1930s Great Depression? A powerful story of love, redemption, and one family's resilience in the face of insurmountable odds. If you liked Elizabeth Hardinger's All the Forgivenesses, Kristin Hannah's The Four Winds, and Jennifer L. Wright's If It Rains, you'll enjoy Guarding What Remains.
