Crossing Stones by Helen Frost

4.0

I really enjoyed this. Perfect quick read for adults and 13+ alike. Sadness and grief, but love, hope and free-spirits abound. Touches on a bit of lots of historical moments from 1917- suffrage movement, WWI, gender roles, 1918 flu epidemic, rural schooling, settlement houses. Almost too saccharine, despite real tragedy - families are very happy and loving, home setting is rural idyllic, characters very in touch with their feelings. But, I can use books like that sometimes.
