Carole Estby Dagg Libros

    Tras carreras como bibliotecaria infantil, contable pública certificada y subdirectora de biblioteca, la autora se jubiló anticipadamente para dedicarse a lo que siempre había querido: escribir. Su primera novela se inspiró en la historia real de su tía abuela y el viaje de 4.000 millas que realizó a pie por el país con su madre en 1896. Su segundo libro surgió de la curiosidad por los primeros días de una ciudad de Alaska, tras la compra por parte de su hijo de una casa histórica. La autora crea narrativas arraigadas en sucesos reales y legados familiares, transformándolos en relatos cautivadores.

      "If Laura Ingalls Wilder had lived in Alaska, she might have written this novel . . ."--Kirkus Reviews It's 1934, and times are tough for Trip's family after the mill in their small Wisconsin town closes, leaving her father unemployed. Determined to provide for his family, he moves them all to Alaska to become pioneers as part of President Roosevelt's Palmer Colony project. Trip and her family are settling in, except her mom, who balks at the lack of civilization. But Trip feels like she's following in Laura Ingalls Wilder's footsteps, and she hatches a plan to raise enough money for a piano to convince her musical mother that Alaska is a wonderful and cultured home. Her sights set on the cash prize at the upcoming Palmer Colony Fair, but can Trip grow the largest pumpkin possible--using all the love, energy, and Farmer Boy expertise she can muster?
