Miracles on Maple Hill

Miracles on Maple Hill is a warm family story of ten-year-old Marly and her family during the year when they move from Pittsburgh to Maple Hill in a quiet corner of Pennsylvania. There, not only the miracles of the changing seasons occur, but also the miracle of her father's return to normalcy after the years he had spent in a prison camp. Marly, eager, sensitive and loving, and her brother, very masculine and condescending at twelve, learn to plan and work together to rebuild a happy family life. The black and white sketches by Beth and Joe Krush add to the book's distinction.
