The year 1894 brings hard times to the Yoders. When Father reads that free land is available in faraway North Dakota, the family packs up, says goodbye to family and friends, and boards the train for what they believe will be a better life out West. As soon as they step from the train onto the windswept prairie, however, they realize they have much to learn about homesteading.
They hurry to build their thatched-roof, sod house even as they plant a garden and till the fields. With each new experience—including the wildfire and long cold winter—they learn to trust God, embrace the pioneer spirit, and watch hardship turn into valuable life lessons.
Based on actual events from a time long ago, this unforgettable story from The Amish Frontier Series, perfect for ages 8 to 12, brings to life the Yoder family's move from a close-knit community to a pioneer life where they quickly discover how God is faithful to help in every situation.

The Yoder family packs up and moves once again—this time to join other Amish families in Colorado where inexpensive farmland is plentiful. Despite the drought, Mother's illness, and a raging wildfire, the family quickly adapts to life in their new homeland.
Along the way young Joe, intrigued with the exciting stories of the area's gold rush and dreaming of an easier life, tries his hand at gold panning. One adventure leads to another, but it's the chance meeting with an older gentleman—who had panned for gold most of his life—in which Joe learns some of life's truly golden lessons. Together, the old man and the boy discover real treasure.
Based on actual events from a time long ago, this unforgettable story from the Amish Frontier Series, perfect for ages 8 to 12, brings to life the Yoder family's struggle to live a life of faith on the Colorado frontier.

The Great Depression has hit, and tramps, homeless families, and soup kitchens are more and more common. Granny's words, "Our turn is sure to come," sent a shiver through Betty. Surely God wouldn't let such troubles come to their family. Then one afternoon Father came home with alarming news-he had been laid off. A move to a farm in the country led to a house with two grandmothers, and a time of tension and adventure as the family learns and grows together.
