No Small Victory

by Connie Brummel Crook

It's the Hungry Thirties and Bonnie's family has been hit hard by the Depression, and relocated to Lang, Ontario. The move is supposed to give them a fresh start, but a swath of new challenges rises to meet them as they adapt to their new surroundings. For Bonnie, settling into her new school is an uphill battle, but a series of small victories soon sets Bonnie on a path of success.
