I'm always turning away from videos and pausing as I read books because the tears are threatening. Most recently, it was Least of All
, a sweet little book about Raven Hannah, a young Vermont girl who wants very much to help on the farm like her older brothers but she's always more of a hindrance than a help. When she's finally big enough for a task all her own, churning the butter, she also discovers it's a lonely task, sitting inside by herself as everyone else works elsewhere. So as she sits and churns, she searches through the Bible for the verses she's memorized at Sunday School and over the summer and fall months, teachers herself to read. She amazes the family, who have always treasured their Bible though not a one of them can read it.Until Raven teaches them.
By the way, my dear Vermont friend, I thought of your family the whole time I was reading this book and highly recommend it to you!
