Iskold Sommer i Vildmarken by Mary Jane Auch
3.0
This is second in a series about an early pioneer family in the region of the Erie Canal.
In this book we really come to see how ill-equipped and unprepared Mem's parents really were for the pioneer life. Her mother suffers serious post-partum depression, while her father becomes more and more disconnected from the family. Meanwhile Mem is left to cope on her own with her little brother and infant sister.
This book takes place during a famous summer for bad weather. There were blizzards and freezes during July, and crops failed. Altogether a bad year for the family to have come west.
