A Gathering of Days
by Joan W. Blos

Synopsis

Publisher's comments
Told by Catherine in journal form the reader gets a first-hand report of what it was like to grow up in frontier times in New Hampshire--a powerful historical fiction.

Reviews

"Her characters are truly of their times, not 1970's sensibilities masquerading in 1830's homespun, and old-fashioned in the best sense of the word--principled." --School Library Journal

Condition of the book

The book has been gently read. The corners are slightly bent and the edges are somewhat worn. There is no writing on any inside page nor on the cover. --no former owner's name, no library stamps or markings. A Gathering of Days is out-of-print and will become harder and harder to find.
