From the back of the book:
"Oh, Aunt Wealthy," Millie cried. "It's decided!" "My child, what is it?" asked the older lady, dropping the letter to take the girl's hand and draw her to the sofa, "What is decided?" Millie spoke with a determined effort to be calm. "This morning, at breakfast, Pappa told us children, I mean he and Mamma had talked it over last night, and you know they have been praying about it, and . . . "And?" Wealthy clasped Millie's hand to her heart. "We are going to move . . . to . . . to . . . Pleasant Plains, Indiana." "The frontier!" Wealthy gasped, sinking back on the couch.
Millie's Unsettled Season is the first book in the A Life of Faith: Millie Keith Series. Based on the 1876 novel by Martha Finley, this revised and updated, modern-language edition follows the exciting life and times of a delightful young girl named Millie Keith. Those familiar with the well-known Elsie Dinsmore books will love the fact that Millie is second cousin to Elsie Dinsmore. Yet in this faith-filled, action-packed adventure, Millie stands as a strong heroine in and of herself and one to which even 21st century girls will relate.
