Anna's Fight for Hope FROM THE PUBLISHER
Times are tough for Anna Harrington. But times are even tougher for some of her friends, who've been devastated by the Great Depression. Dot's family is hungry and may lose its home, while Chet, riding the rails as a hobo in search of work, is in trouble with the law. Twelve-year-old Anna and her cousin, Fred, watch in sorrow as others suffer, wondering what they can do to show God's love to their friends. Soon, they come up with some clever ideas to help -- but with jobs scarce, food hard to come by, and the authorities making things difficult, will Anna's efforts be enough?
