Country Cousin: In The Wild Woods (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781619550100)

Country Cousin In The Dark Woods is the story of thirteen-year-old Jenny Miller who takes action against her parents' wishes and begins a horse logging operation in order to make enough money to save their farm. Excerpt: Jenny continued toward the barn. The screen door slammed again. "Jenny Miller!" Their mother's voice rang across the farmyard. "What do you think you're doing?" Jenny spun around with a look of defiance none of them had seen before. "Dad can't even get out of bed! I'm going to harness Ned and start logging." She looked from Jeff to Patrick. "Are you coming?" She headed for the barn again. The boys stood there exchanging looks, and then sought direction by turning toward their mother. "Your father said, no!" Jenny swung about, mid-stride, and strode toward the house. Her eyes cut a swath past her brothers and bored into her mom, "You'd let him up to harness Ned? Horse-log...in his condition?" There were tears streaming down her face. Jenny glanced at Jeff and Patrick before she turned away, her voice floating back to them, "Coming?" The boys looked at their mom. She seemed half-shriveled as she said, "Don't let her work alone..." and turned to stumble through the screen door.
