(3) 4-6 Esther's father loses his job in the midst of the Great Depression and sees moving to the country as the family's only hope. Farm life is far from idyllic, and Esther longs for some show of love from her distant, superstitious Russian-immigrant mother. The family's poverty and hardships are nicely woven into a story of family love lost and found.
