Synopsis

It all started with a question from her youngest granddaughter: "MeMa, you've written all kinds of different books, but do you think you'll ever write a chapter book for girls?" And that's how "The Porter Girls & the Lost Garnets" was born. Years ago, Grandma Ada shared a story with the author and her husband about a real homesteading family who took agates to town to trade for supplies when times were tough. Now you can read the story about modern day triplets searching for lost garnets in order to pay for damages after their farm is destroyed by a wildfire. Join these 10-year-old girls as they search every inch of the farm, come in contact with wild animals, see their beloved pet come to the rescue time after time, learn about the local flora and fauna, and even entertain a city cousin who comes to the farm one day, but doesn't want to get dirty. Their adventures are interwoven with truthful nuggets from the Bible, advice from teachers and parents alike, and absolutely no references to electronic devices. Life on the farm is free of distractions except familial love, God's creation and children playing outside all summer long instead of sitting in front of the TV. If you want your child to read a book about family values instead of school drama and meanness, this is the book for you. Not applicable for today's market? Remember the good old days? Why not go back for a visit and educate your children about what life used be like when children played.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Tami J. Whitmore grew up on a farm not unlike the one portrayed in this book. She enjoyed many adventures growing up and watched her children and grandchildren enjoy the same adventures while creating new memories as well. She and her husband of 41 years home schooled their children K-12 and their family has been enjoying farm life in rural America for six generations. Everyone always says you should write what you know and her latest offering is drawn from many personal experiences. Tami also operated a children's bookstore for two years and has a website offering classic books for all ages. But her favorite thing to do is create stories for children to enjoy just as she enjoyed reading about Anne Shirley, Sara Crewe and Mary Lennox while growing up. This author of seven children's books, a 37-day devotional from the Bible, and a memoir concerning a month-long trip to Europe is delighted to share her tenth book with you.
