"The School Children's Blizzard," a deadly storm named for the majority of its victims, hit the Nebraska prairie in 1888. This eloquent narrative speaks in the alternating voices of two fictional teenage survivors, Hannah and Isaac, who, months later, find themselves employed together at a wealthy suffragist widow's house. Intertwined with a subtly drawn love story are unique threads of women's history.
