Summary

After the death of their mother, 10-year-old Meg is left to take care of the children until their father, who’s away at sea, returns. He is expected any day, yet when his ship finally arrives, he is not aboard. There will be good days and bad days, but Meg’s simple, childlike faith as well as the kindness of neighbours and friends will help her through her trials and ensure the survival of little Meg and "her" children.

She first rose to fame with her "Jessica's First Prayer," which she later followed with the sequel "Jessica’s Mother."

lovely Story,very bad narrator

I read this book as a child,I remember it being such a touching story of a little girl trying to look after her siblings,so I thought I'd get it on talking books...what a mistake. You cannot understand a word the narrator was saying,the words are muffled,one tone with no breaths taken in a sentence,one tone of sound absolutely impossible to listen to,only listened to it for 2 minutes,2 minutes of painful listening. Returned for refund. Such a shame as a better narrator would have made this book a great pleasure to listen too.
