Eleven year old May Betts is sent to live with her neighbors on the Kansas prairie to earn an extra income for her family. Things are not quite right, and May ends up being abandoned. She is 15 miles from home, but has no way to contact her own family, so she must survive on her own for 5 months. May is courageous and determined as she fights the harsh Kansas winter. Her story is told in powerful free verse poetry.
