Granfer and one Christmas time

Eleanora H. Stooke

Sinossi

IT was spring. The bright March sun in a cloudless blue sky was shining into the kitchen of Lowercoombe Farm, upon the spotless china on the dresser, the glistening tin ware on the mantelpiece, and the old copper warming pan hanging from its accustomed nail against the wall. The farm-house kitchen was a pleasant place: the stone floor was kept scrupulously clean, and the large deal table was as white as scrubbing could make it, whilst the oak settles by the fire-place and the few chairs placed at equal distances around the room shone with the constant application of 'elbow-grease,' as the housewives call rubbing and polishing. On the hearth burnt a large wood fire, over which in an iron crock simmered a savoury stew which Mrs. Maple, the farmer's wife, who was engaged in getting up her husband's shirts at the table, put down her iron to stir occasionally.

Susan Lynn Meyer

An untold American frontier story … 
North Dakota, 1905  
After fleeing persecution in the Russian Empire, eleven-year-old Shoshana and her  
family, Jewish immigrants, start a new life on the prairie. Shoshana takes fierce joy  
in the wild beauty of the plains and the thrill of forging a new, American identity.  
But it’s not as simple for her older sister, Libke, who misses their Ukrainian village  
and doesn’t learn English as quickly or make friends as easily.  
Desperate to fit in, Shoshana finds herself hiding her Jewish identity in the face of  
prejudice, just as Libke insists they preserve it. For the first time, Shoshana is at  
odds with her beloved sister, and has to look deep inside herself to realize that  
her family’s difference is their greatest strength. By listening to the music that’s  
lived in her heart all along, Shoshana finds new meaning in the Jewish expression  
all beginnings are difficult, as well as in the resilience and traditions her people  
have brought all the way to the North Dakota prairie.
