Product Description

From School Library Journal

ea. vol: CIP. Bethany House. 1987. pap. $5.95; large print pap. $7.95. Grade 7-10 In the first book, Belinda shows tender concern for any injured creature. At 14, she assists her brother, the town doctor, on amputation, birth ing, and burn cases. Wishing to be a boy so that she can become a doctor, she instead sets nursing as a goal. The story ends with a kiss from the boy whose arm was amputated and the promise of another book. Choosing a cousin's wallpaper, planning another cousin's surprise party, and persuading a destitute family to accept help are na ive or sentimental scenes that abound in a thicket of characters from earlier books. Faith is tried and proved in this Christian house on the prairie alterna tive to formula romances. Shura's Jes sica (Scholastic, 1984) includes teen emotions in a well-researched Kansas frontier setting without the jarring col loquial dialect. In The Winds of Au tumn, Josh, 15, spins his family's saga like a Huck Finn on the prairie. Camp ing trip mishaps fill a gap while the boys wait for a new teacher. The teacher's daughter mesmerizes the friends, and tutoring her introduces Josh to her fa ther's private library and the theory of evolution. When his aunt loses her first baby, Josh questions divine benevo lence. A heart-to-heart with Gramps about God's plan causes Josh to resolve his conflicts. Oke's Christian message overwhelms the events.Patricia G. Harrington, Phoenix Public Library

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellant book, May 17 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Winds of Autumn #2 (Paperback)
This book is about a boy growing up. The main character's name is Josh. When a new school teacher comes and teaches things that don't agree with his religion Josh faces some hard decisions.Should he like the teachers daughter even though she isn't a Christian?Should he sacrifice his education for his beliefs? This story is beautifully written through the eyes of Josh.I just couldn't put this book down. Be sure to read the others!

5.0 out of 5 stars It was so captivating, I just couldn't put it down!, May 17 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Winds of Autumn (Paperback)
It is mainly of a boy growing up on a farm and all of the hardships he encounters along the way of growing up. Aunt Lou, who has played the part of his mother ever since his parents death, is also growing up. I think anyone is interested in reading a wonderful, family related book this is the one.
