Her mothers death leaves her father unable to care for Rose. He does the unthinkable, he sells Rose to a stranger in Oklahoma for fifty dollars. What Rose finds when she reaches the Oklahoma wilderness is a sick, grizzled, old man. Though scared, she finds herself able to survive extreme weather, animal attacks, dangerous trespassers, and more. Join Rose in her late 1800s struggle to change herself from a young, scared city girl to a skilled, quick-witted survivalist in Phyllis A. Collmanns Roses Betrayal and Survival. While Rose learns everything there is to know about wilderness survival and overcoming obstacles, she also gains many more valuable life lessons in the bargain: friendship, kindness, contentment, and forgiveness. | |||
