Lois Lowry
In the Fall of 1918, eleven year-old Lydia Pierce and her fourteen year-old brother, Daniel, find themselves suddenly orphaned by the Spanish flu epidemic. Their grieving uncle takes them from their home in Portland, Maine to be raised in the Shaker community, where they are separated since males and females are not permitted to live together. Lydia, a fiercely independent girl, is forced to adjust to her new life and the restrictions placed upon her all on her own.

In the audiobook, it was read by a girl who sounded young like the girl in the story. (around 11 years old) That also made it relatable to my kids. The girl who read it did a great job!
It was very well written and had so much history that we learned by default, while also being entertained by the story!
It talks about the devastation of the Spanish flu but mostly focuses on the girl who was taken to the Shaker community when her parents died. The story also touches on World War I since that was also taking place during this time.
It was a very moving story - and at the end of the book it also has an overview of history at the time. Lots of fascinating information there too! It also has the author speak at the end about why she wrote this book. All around, we enjoyed it thoroughly! My kiddos asked to listen to it again as soon as it was over! I hope they turn more of these Dear America stories into audiobooks. 😊
Great story about Spanish flu and Shaker society!
