Books on my Shelf to read:
All three of these books in Lauraine Snelling’s Leah’s Garden series will give you hours of reading pleasure. The stories follow the journey of the Nielsen sisters as they flee their home in the east and seek to homestead in Salton, Nebraska. The trip on the trail by wagon is detailed in realistic encounters with other travelers and the misfortunes of others the meet. Their arrival in Salton and the work involved in setting up housekeeping in a soddy provide rich scenes full of laughter and heart ache. I’m looking forward to book four when it arrives in 2024.
