Publisher Description
A disarmingly involving portrait of a family struggling to stay together through the Great Depression, The Cape Ann is an unforgettable story of life from a child’s-eye view.
Lark Erhardt, the six-year-old narrator of The Cape Ann, and her fiercely independent mother dream of owning their own house; they have their hearts set on the Cape Ann, chosen from a house catalog. But when Lark’s father’s gambling threatens the down payment her mother has worked so hard to save, Lark’s mother takes matters into her own indomitable hands.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
``This is the kind of old-fashioned novel whose period flavor is as enjoyable as the story it tells,'' remarked PW . Set in the small town of Harvester, Minn., during the Depression, the tale features a six-year-old narrator, Lark Ann Erhardt, who recounts a pivotal year in her life.
