| One Came Home |
Thirteen-year-old Georgie Burkhardt’s older sister,
Agatha, has disappeared. To her family’s
horror, a mostly unidentifiable body is found on the wagon road to another town
and everyone assumes it's Agatha. But even
though the body is wearing Agatha’s blue-green dress and has the same auburn
hair, Georgie does not believe it is her sister and sets off to find her.
She is joined by Agatha’s former boyfriend, Billy McCabe.
They travel from their home in Placid,
Wisconsin along the same road Agatha followed, looking for clues. Eventually, they are led to the home of the
Garrow family, way up in the Wisconsin hills.
The Garrows may have seen Agatha, but they are not entirely reliable
witnesses.
Georgie and Billy soon discover much more than they
bargained for. They become fully
embroiled in an adventure complete with criminals, counterfeit money and
shootouts. But the mystery of Agatha’s
disappearance remains. Is Agatha really
still alive as Georgie thinks? Will they
ever get back to their day-to-day life?
Set in 1871 Wisconsin, One Came Home is
historical fiction, mystery and western all rolled into one. I couldn’t put it down!
