YA
Set in rural America in the 1930s, this novel weaves two strands of family history--the birth of a premature baby and the revelation of an out-of-wedlock pregnancy--around the character of thirteen-year-old Sophie. Solidly grounded in the details of farming life and, in particular, the care of newborns, it limns the themes of guilt and secrets.
