The true story of a five year old girl left in charge of her two  baby sisters in a snowbound cabin in the Quebec woods,  Rose-Aimee's memoir is a tale of survival and spirit.  Rose-Aimee relives her childhood in the backwoods. She  inhabited a tiny log cabin deep in the forest. Her family lived as  pioneer woods people lived centuries before-growing, gathering  their food; they survived by the heat of a fire; the light of an oil  lamp, the laundry froze on the line. This instant classic evokes the  "Little House" books of Laura Ingalls Wilder and lingers in one's  mind long after the snow and the sucre a la crème melt.  "Rose Aimee is a literary discovery. She conjures a backwoods  childhood so real, I could smell the pine resin, the wood smoke,  the scent of summer raspberries. With her unique style and warmth,  she escorts the reader into her past; a time and place which, even  with its hardships, I never wished to leave. Families lived differently  then; they were left with only one another for survival; entertainment.  Children were not wired to videos and cell phones; they  diverted themselves with home-made dolls and the fire lit shadows  on their log cabin wall. Her story is all the sweeter for its hard-won  pleasures. Savor."  -Laura Shaine Cunningham, author of  Sleeping Arrangements and A Place in the Country.  ABOUT THE AUTHOR:  Rose-Aimee grew up as described in this book, in the  Quebec backwoods. She is now a writer, living with her  husband, in Manchester, New Hampshire.
