De: Mershon Niesner

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Lost and alone in Indian Territory, a young girl survives by relying on her intuition, determination, and the kindness of strangers.

Ten-year-old Angie is heading west as part of a wagon train in the summer of 1825 when she becomes separated from her family. She quickly learns to rely on her instincts then members of a tribe of Pawnee Indians to survive the harsh realities of the Nebraska Sand Hills. As her rescuers morph from frightening strangers into family, Angie discovers new ways to see the world, and comes to terms with her own cultural heritage.

Angie’s uncanny ability to survive blizzards, tornadoes, snake bites, hunger, isolation, rejection, and abuse give readers a taste of the challenges, heartbreaks, and triumphs that White settlers and Native Americans faced during the westward expansion. As the great granddaughter of early Nebraska pioneers, the author takes readers on an emotional journey packed with adventure and well-researched historical relevance.

Angie, The Bee Lady is the prequel to Niesner’s earlier book, The Bootmaker’s Wife,
