| Publisher Description: It's the Depression and it's rural Kansas. For good measure, nature decides to throw in a Dust Bowl. It's not the life Cat Peters would have chosen, but the young Mennonite girl doesn't have much say in it. Driven to the edge of bankruptcy by the relentless winds of the Dust Bowl, Cat's family is desperate. Fortunately, wealthy Simon Yoder generously saves them with a loan. Everyone gets something more out of the arrangement than what they bargain for. Cat's father gains a start back from the edge and the shame that he can't provide for his family. Cat's older brother goes to work for Simon to pay off the family debts and learns lots of new ideas. And Simon gets the debt repaid and casts a sticky net over the Peters family. So in the end, everyone loses. Still the rains don't come. Without rain, there is no wheat. So Cat, too, goes to the Yoder's to clean and cook and do whatever the hired girls do. It turns out the hired girls at the Yoder house do a lot more than cook and clean, for Simon Yoder is a man who steals the souls of young girls. And now Cat has slipped into his hands. |
Contributor Bio(s): Diller, Janelle: - Janelle Diller was born and raised in Kansas. She'll forever have a soft spot in her heart for golden wheat fields, sunflower-filled ditches, and sunsets that explode colors on the horizon. Her Mennonite linage dates back to when the Anabaptist movement first grew out of the Swiss Reformation in the sixteenth century. Janelle is a true mongrel Mennonite, with Swiss, Dutch, German, and Russian Mennonite roots. She remains a member of the Mennonite church today and will forever love a cappella four-part harmony (with an occasional rousing piano accompaniment) and potlucks. Currently, she and her husband divide their time between sailing the Mexican coast in the winter and spending summers in Colorado. In addition, she writes political thrillers for conspiracy lovers and early chapter book mysteries for the award winning Pack-n-Go Girls Adventure series. Someone forgot to tell her to stick with a single genre. Janelle loves to connect with her readers in person when possible and on Skype with book clubs and classrooms.
