Sweet Home Alaska
of Carole EstDagg (Goodreads Author)
Description
This exciting pioneering story, based on actual events, introduces readers to a fascinating chapter in American history, when FDR set up a New Deal colony in Alaska to give loans and land to families struggling during the Great Depression.  Terpsichore canât wait to follow in Laura Ingalls Wilderâs footsteps . . . now she just has to convince her mom. Itâs 1934, and times are tough for their family. To make a fresh start, Terpsichoreâs father signs up for President Rooseveltâs Palmer Colony project, uprooting them from Wisconsin to become pioneers in Alaska. Their new home is a bit of a shockâitâs a town still under construction in the middle of the wilderness, where the residents live in tents and share a community outhouse. But Terpsichoreâs not about to let first impressions get in the way of this grand adventure. Tackling its many unique challenges with her can-do attitude, she starts making things happen to make Alaska seem more like home. Soon, she and her family are able to start settling in and enjoying their new surroundingsâeveryone except her mother, that is. So, in order to stay, Terpsichore hatches a plan to convince her that itâs a wonderfulâand civilizedâplace to live . . . a plan thatâs going to take all the love, energy, and Farmer Boy expertise Terpsichore can muster.
