When Sarah Saved the Day

Sarah Wenner, a fifteen-year-old who must quickly grow up after her father's death, assumes charge of a modest household and her younger siblings, including lively twins and a baby. Faced with relatives who bring plans and pressures — an uncle's proposal concerning the children, aunts with fixed ideas, and a new hired man whose presence unsettles the family — she quietly takes responsibility, protects the home, and negotiates difficult choices. Against a backdrop of local upheaval and legal complications, she uses practical courage and steady resourcefulness to keep her family together and guide them toward resolution.
