Counting on Grace

The historical backdrop adds depth to the characters' struggles. I'm curious what drew Elizabeth Winthrop to this particular era and how she approached making it accessible for middle-grade readers.

Her perseverance really stood out to me, especially for a young protagonist. I wonder how others related to her sense of responsibility and hope in tough times.

The setting felt so authentic without overwhelming the narrative. It’s interesting to think about how she wove in real history while keeping the story engaging for kids.
