1-3My America series.
After surviving the settling of Jamestown and the terrible winter that followed, ten-year-old Elizabeth Barker records her thoughts and feelings as she adjusts to the prospect of a stepmother, makes new friends, and finds ways to soften the harshness of the new governor's rule. Brief diary entries and Lizzie's engaging voice make this third book (after Our Strange New Land and The Starving Time) highly readable.
