Description
In the wake of the American Revolution, a young girl’s family is offered a remarkable chance at a new life—fourteen cows that will help them survive, rebuild, and dream beyond hardship. As the herd becomes both livelihood and symbol, the story follows how perseverance, community, and hope can turn ordinary work into extraordinary change. Blending historical detail with a child’s-eye sense of wonder, this lyrical tale explores themes of resilience, responsibility, and the quiet power of generosity. Carmen Agra Deedy’s distinctive, accessible storytelling brings history to life with warmth and momentum, making the past feel immediate and deeply human.
