Book Review of The Cabin Faced West

The Cabin Faced West
The Cabin Faced West
Author: Jean Fritz
Genre: Children's Books
Book Type: Paperback

This book surprised me with its sweetness and simplicity. So many books for young people are dark, the characters brooding, the storyline sad or violent. This is a simple story about a girl who is struggling to find contentment in her new home on the frontier. She is lonely, and misses her old home. Throughout the story she gradually realizes the blessings she has living in the west. I thought this was a very special litte book.
