When the Minneapolis twelve-year-old learns of the effort to give women the right to vote, she takes up the cause. It's not easy, though - besides the friction the 'suffragettes' face, Maria fears the threats her father, a union officer, is receiving. And with a new war going on in Europe, her German-sounding surname brings her added trouble. Maria must overcome her personal hardships to serve a cause much larger than herself. Can she rely on God's strength to do the right thing? Let the Sisters in Time series take you back to 1914-- where you may find that Maria Schmidt isn't that much different than you! Recommended for ages 8 to 12. This story is based on (and very similar to) Clash with the Newsboys from the American Adventure Series. |
