"The Children's Blizzard" by Melanie Benjamin

A story which led lives to the utmost abilities and yet, for some, devastated their lives. A beautifully written story about homesteaders in a land with no forgiving. A rough life for most. Good people being lied to in order to move where they could have land. The weather which, to this day, goes through Nebraska like a lion. Not caring what it takes in its wake. 

Read about a family who raised two teachers. Each teacher handled a devastating storm differently. Human nature.

I enjoyed this book. Ended beautifully. I highly recommend you pick this book up.
