    About this ebook

    After the Ramsdens lose their father, Charlotte ("Carrots"), her brother, her young sister, and her mother continue to operate their East Texas dairy farm. Then their cousin from Eastern Europe, Emiglia ("Miggle") is orphaned, and is forced to come live with them. When she arrives, she's shocked to find her relatives engaging in manual labor, which her late parents considered fit only for peasants. But as the two girls begin to find some common ground, they discover that they're becoming a real family after all.



    "Filled with well-drawn, sympathetic characters facing real-life tragedy."--Robert Reginald.

      It’s Chucking-out Time

      AS soon as the starter pistol banged, I threw the fishing kit into the car and went to see ‘someone who isn’t a direct member of your household’. Partly it was to chuck a fly, partly to savour the sheer joy of escaping the family. Much as one loves o

      We sat in front of a blazing fire in the hearth of the tiny hunting cabin. The chimney drew well as long as the door was kept slightly open, like Lem Putt advised, to get the draft just right. We were sipping a most wonderfully aged 56-year-old Caber
