Stranger in the Storm
Reviewed by Diane Pendergraft
In 1850, on a farm in Iowa, two girls, 8 and 10, spend a couple of days (nearly) on their own during a blizzard. At the beginning of the story, Adella, the younger girl, thinks she sees a bear running through the orchard. Rhoda, the ten-year-old, knows that all the bears are in hibernation, so Adella must have been imagining the bear. Shortly after the girls find themselves stranded at Adella’s house, two men come to the farm searching for a runaway slave named Tall Tom. At the time, the girls don’t connect the “bear” sighting with the large black man the men are seeking.
