Over Home

Set in the 1920s in Huron, South Dakota, OVER HOME captures the essence of small-town rural America through the eyes of an 11-year- old girl. It is a story of family relationships & rituals brought to life by a richly detailed cast of characters caught up in a real-life murder mystery. The estranged wife of one of Grandpa & Grandma Weise's boarders has been murdered & Scharmann can't keep her nose out of it. The inquisitive Scharmann is both horrified & fascinated. An active imagination leads Scharmann through a series of colorful adventures which sometimes are nothing but trouble. Mamma & Daddy say it's none of her business, but, for Scharmann, secrets are to be discovered & mysteries are to be solved. Like Laura Ingalls Wilder, Jeannette Kinyon writes with a depth of vivid description. OVER HOME reverberates with the customs & fashions of days gone by, yet the lessons of family & adolescence are strikingly familiar for all time.
