Inside a Moonlight School
Last week, I zoomed into an actual Moonlight School in Morehead, Kentucky, and met a class full of students who were learning all about their local heroine, the remarkable Cora Wilson Stewart.
These amazing teachers had planned for this field trip and prepared their students so well. Lots of great questions! The whole thing was a highlight for me. It was an incredible feeling to be in an actual one-room schoolhouse where those life-changing night schools had been held for illiterate adults in Rowan County.
Here are some pictures from the event:

Bonus Gift When You Pre-order “A Season on the Wind”
Less than a month until A Season on the Wind hits the bookshelves!
It’s a story about a rare bird that lands on an Amish farm during the Audubon Society’s annual Christmas Bird Count. Its appearance turns life upside down in Stoney Ridge, especially for Penny Weaver (farm host), her brother Micah (aka field guide), and author Ben Zook, who has made a career out of chasing rare birds around the world. Penny remembers Ben from long ago and always hoped he’d return to Stoney Ridge…and return to her…but he has absolutely no memory of her.
So what happens next?

Research Trip: Great Cranberry Island
As a child, the first book I remember being read to by my mom was Hitty: My First Hundred Years by Rachel Field. Written in 1929, it’s a story about a wooden doll, carved by a peddler, and her long and adventurous life. In 1930, the book received a Newbery Medal.
Hitty recounts her life in memoir-style: loved by multiple owners, narrowly escaping many hazardous experiences. Phoebe Preble, the daughter of a whaling captain, was Hitty’s first mistress and my favorite one of all. Maybe…because Phoebe lived in Maine and took the doll along on her father’s whaling voyage.
Reading Hitty as an adult, I’ve noticed her dry wit, her use of understatements–something that sailed right over my head as a little girl. When my sister and I were on a research trip for the Three Sisters Island series, we spent a day traveling to some of the more remote islands-off-of-islands in Maine. Imagine my delight when we came across Hitty’s Café on Great Cranberry Island! There’s even a room in a tiny community center that was dedicated to Hitty. Author Rachel Field had spent time on nearby Sutton Island.
I have to admit, the life-sized wooden doll we encountered creeped us out a little. While Hitty loomed large in my imagination…not quite that large.
Hitty was also the last book I remember being read to by my mom. I was just starting to learn to read. I never had the patience to be read to once I could read for myself. I still don’t!
