Magghie - Paperback

by Barbara Salvatore (Author)

MAGGHIE WILDER leads a simple life with her German parents in Conestoga Valley, Pennsylvania. Her mother teaches her plants and medicines, and from her father she learns to work with draft-horses and drive teams. Spurned by the village people who call her witch, Magghie retreats into the world of plants and animals. When Mormon pioneers winter over in her valley, an outbreak of Cholera changes everything, forcing her to flee her home and head West with her teams of big horses and the other survivors. She must step forward and take the reins before losing what remains.
