Emma Field Book One Carol Williams


Emma Field has dreams and desires that call her to go beyond her father's struggle to survive as an immigrant in a Quaker community in 1840's Canada. "Emma lived in a quiet world. Most of the sounds and all of the colors came from nature. She absorbed them like moss absorbing a spring rain. Emma Field - daughter of Jeremiah and the late Josephine, child of the land, child of a Methodist and Quaker community swept by the winds of Lake Ontario - knew where she belonged. The circles of her life were clearly defined. That gave her comfort. It also filled her with fear." an excerpt from the book. Teen to adult Carol Williams 2007 309 PP. Paperback $24.99
