Nothing Here But Stones : A Jewish Pioneer Story
By Nancy Oswald
$16.95 h/c

An historical novel about the establishment of a Russian-Jewish community in Cotopaxi, CO, in 1882. The history is fictionalized through the poignant first-person narrative of Emma, 11, who recalls the racist oppression the group left behind in Russia,  as she describes the harsh conditions in the new land. A vivid glimpse into the pioneer experience of a group of people who were misled into believing they were coming to the Promised Land. Ages 9-12.
