Away from Home by Arleta Richardson

When you're sixteen, everything is momentous.

That's what Mabel's best friend Sarah Jane tells her as they begin their first year of school at the academy in town. Away from their farm homes and families for the first time, the two girls must contend with a new school, new acquaintances, and new ways of doing things.

And Sarah Jane is right. Whether it's wearing bloomers for physical culture class, mustering the courage to invite young men to an evening social event, or helping the housekeeper with a routine task, the two friends have a way of making momentous moments out of anything. Mabel and Sarah Jane rise to each occasion with their usual measure of hilarity, anguish, and newfound insights, all the while learning more of what it means to place one's trust in God.

Arleta Richardson is a gifted storyteller who grew up as an only child in Chicago, living in a hotel on the shores of Lake Michigan. Under the care of her maternal grandmother, she listened for hours as her grandmother told stories from her won childhood. Arleta captured these stories for the Grandma's Attic series which now has an audience of over two million readers!
