Carole Estby Dagg Livres

    Après des carrières de bibliothécaire pour enfants, d'expert-comptable et de directrice adjointe de bibliothèque, l'auteure a pris une retraite anticipée pour se consacrer à l'écriture, sa passion de toujours. Son premier roman s'inspire de l'histoire vraie de sa grand-tante et de son incroyable périple de 6 400 miles à travers le pays avec sa mère en 1896. Son second ouvrage est né de la curiosité pour les débuts d'une ville en Alaska, suite à l'achat d'une maison historique par son fils. L'auteure tisse des récits profondément ancrés dans des faits réels et des héritages familiaux, les transformant en histoires captivantes.

      "If Laura Ingalls Wilder had lived in Alaska, she might have written this novel . . ."--Kirkus Reviews It's 1934, and times are tough for Trip's family after the mill in their small Wisconsin town closes, leaving her father unemployed. Determined to provide for his family, he moves them all to Alaska to become pioneers as part of President Roosevelt's Palmer Colony project. Trip and her family are settling in, except her mom, who balks at the lack of civilization. But Trip feels like she's following in Laura Ingalls Wilder's footsteps, and she hatches a plan to raise enough money for a piano to convince her musical mother that Alaska is a wonderful and cultured home. Her sights set on the cash prize at the upcoming Palmer Colony Fair, but can Trip grow the largest pumpkin possible--using all the love, energy, and Farmer Boy expertise she can muster?
