In the winter of 1846, the Donner Party was stranded by heavy snows in the Sierra Nevada mountains. The pioneers endured bitter hardships and many of them died. But some survived, including eight-year-old Patty Reed, a girl filled with dignity and determination in the face of mortal danger. This is her story, as told by Dolly, the wooden doll she kept hidden in her dress.

It took a bit to get used to the storytelling from the doll's point of view. However the reader made it work. Amazing history - those people were tough! Sacrificing everything for a better life. Oh, how I wish that was the spirit of America again!

Fascinating!
