This is a very well written historical fiction story you have penned for the contest. You used very good descriptive words and very good dialogue. I am so thankful I wasn't living back then. Best wishes in the contest and Merry Christmas! Teri

Your story paints such clear picture of the journey. I love how you brought to life the tension of the pioneers journey. The playful water fight was perfect because it is something that would happen today. You got to know them better. I felt the intensity of the tragedy that followed. Your descriptions of the family's interactions - especially between John and Hanna - felt so real. I also admired the way you included historical events. The ending was so emotional. Great work!

An interesting story. There is much about American that can be told or re-told. This is a strong contest entry. Good luck.

notes:

"Hope not," Hanna said. "ain't they mean?"
