Triple Divide Peg Lewis

It's 1980. It's been a tough year, and 11 year old Sharlie has got to step up or her family will fall apart. Mom is absorbed in grief, and 8 year old Cissy is acting like a baby. And now Sharlie's best friend is being sent away to live with grandparents out west. What can Sharlie do? Step by step she nudges Mom and Cissy to live again. Along the way she finds some surprising allies. From Boston to Walden Pond, to Montana and Glacier National Park, they stumble on, oblivious of the dangerous cliffs ahead, of the horses, cowboys, and campfires in their future. Of what family can become.
