(2) YA It's 1941 in Argue, Saskatchewan. Nora, Jim Ran, and Addie are orphans unsure how to get through winter with no real survival skills beyond ghostly parents doing their best to watch over them. Porter's verse novel presents multiple voices acting as oral histories of characters recording moments in a desperate time. The siblings' concluding measure of hope is well earned and welcome.
