Loved it! submitted by estermyer on August 5, 2014, 6:10pm This is one of my favorite Dear American books! Lydia and her brother, Daniel, became orphaned after their parents and baby sister died during the Spanish flu epidemic. Their uncle then takes them to the Shakers in Sabbathday Lake. I def recommend it!
