Farm Girl
“Easily as good as Carol Ryrie Brink’sCaddie Woodlawn,Farm Girlis beautifully done and should be a treat for anyone who loves reading  historical books. . . . It is a treasure that will be enjoyed by the  young and old alike.” --McCook Daily Gazette“Through the intertwined stories of the life of the  Marker family and of the broader historical time period, the book is  more than captivating. Gowen’s vivid account of her mother’s life allowsFarmGirlto read as seamlessly as if one were recalling personal memories.” --The Holyoke Enterprise“A gift from the heart in which family is prominently featured.” --Aitken Independent Age“Farm Girlis a sweet and wholesome account of a girl coming of age on a 1920s  Nebraska farm. It defies all traditional story-telling rules and I loved  this. It was like I was sitting with my grandma being told stories  about her past. I definitely recommend it if you are in the mood to  escape the commercial angst and urgency of a plot- driven tale. This  book is precious. A book well-worth reading cuddled up on your sofa with  your dog or cat on a cold winter night.”  --Jessica Bell,String BridgeandFabric
