Summary

Eight years old, and Ethan is in charge. W ith their mother dead and their father gone, there is no way the nine Cooper children can keep their family together. The four young ones must go to an orphanage. Ethan, Alice, Simon, and Will settle in at the Briarlane Christian Children's Home where there's plenty to eat, plenty of work, and, it seems to Ethan, plenty of talk about a God who cares about every detail of their lives. In spite of his own worries, Ethan takes seriously his charge to look after his sister and brothers. Whether the threat comes from a bullying older boy, a disgruntled hog, or a wealthy lady, Ethan is ready to do battle to protect his family. But maybe he could use some extra help . . . like the care of the "Good Shepherd" the folks at Briarlane seem to know. Be sure to read all the books in the Orphans' Journey series: Book One: Looking for Home Book Two: Whistle-stop West Book Three: Prairie Homestead Book Four: Across the Border
