It's April of 1917, and World War I has reached Elizabeth's family on their wheat farm in North Dakota. Although the battles are being fought overseas, the war has affected her in ways she couldn't have imagined. Elizabeth is thrust into a new role after her brother and father leave the farm to do their part in the war. And she's only eleven years old

The foal didn't make it.

Does Elizabeth face her fears or run from them? Can she help her family, who need her more now than ever? Or will she retreat like she did when Rosie needed her?
