The First Summer The Growing Erb Series

If you're feeling blue, these are the books for you! Fun, uplifting and inspirational...The Growing Erbs Series tells the story a family growing up on a Minnesota farm in the 1960s, depicting the carefree activities of bygone years as well as the lessons a young girl learns within the close-knit family. Indeed, her values are being formed as the reader follows her examination of the family's Mennonite heritage until she ultimately finds her own spiritual enlightenment. Inspired as a story-form childhood memoir to entertain children while reading about the olden days - much like the beloved 'Little House On The Prairie' books - adults too, find they truly capture the essence of youth and that this young family's poignant story draws them in emotionally from the onset. Companion books also available.THE FIRST SUMMER: The Erbs are moving -- Sheila, her three sisters, and brother are going to be farmers! After their work is done the Three Little Girls go from one hair-raising, yet comical adventure to the next. Along with the simple joys of childood, The First Summer shows the richness of a close family, the innocent spirituality of childood, and the magic of yesteryear when life was simpler, safer, and if you believe the author, better.
