American Struggle: Social Change, Native Americans, and Civil War

Girls are girls

wherever they live—and

whenever they lived, too!

Meet your Sisters in Time in these exciting historical novels for ages 8 to 12. You’ll love the stories of fictional girls—not that different than girls of today—written into actual events of U.S. history.

            American Struggle covers the years 1832 to 1862 with the stories of

• Emma’s Secret: an 11-year-old’s hopes are threatened by a massive flood—and cholera epidemic—along the Ohio River
• Nellie the Brave: a 12-year-old Cherokee overcomes the physical and emotional trauma of the “Trail of Tears”
• Meg Follows a Dream: a 12-year-old’s love of art frustrates her politically-minded family
• Daria Solves a Mystery: an 11-year-old finds herself reluctantly thrust into a wartime spy case

 American Struggle will transport you back to the “growing pains” of our nation, teaching important lessons of history and Christian faith. Featuring bonus educational materials such as glossaries, time lines, and brief biographies of key historical figures, it’s ideal for personal or home-school reading.
