Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Hannah is a fifteen-year-old Amish girl who lives on her family's farm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When her family, hit hard by the Great Depression, loses their farm, Hannah's father decides it's time for a fresh start. Destitute but inspired by grand plans and dreams of a better future west of Lancaster, he loads his family and what little they have left into their covered wagon. They settle in North Dakota, hundreds of miles from any Amish community. Hannah's mother does her best to be a good wife, supporting her husband as they try to build a new life in a wholly unfamiliar place.
Seeking a fresh start during the Great Depression, fifteen-year-old Hannah's Amish family moves from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, to a North Dakota homestead, but face harsh realities and nearly starve until Hannah takes matters into her own hands.
