Publisher's Synopsis
Life on the Prairie - I turn to smile as I look at my children, knowing I love them so much. I must get to my chores. I will see you soon, my old friend. I closed my journal and then placed my hand over the cover, embracing the moment.
I sit at my desk, reading Mrs. Sarah Jankins's journal entry. I am left feeling a mixture of remorse and optimism. There have been many ups and downs in just a few months of Sarah Jankins's entries. I wonder how some homesteaders managed to keep it and thrive while some just left after giving up. The one good thing was that when you bought your homestead, it was yours. Unlike today, the government did not own the property. I hope to finish reading the outcome of this family's journey. This is a Story of one family's journey on their homestead in 1869. It is remarkable how we can be captivated and drawn into someone's life. Even if it was over a hundred years ago. Like time, have no boundaries. I hope you enjoy this riveting journal from Sarah Jankins.
