Resumen del Editor
The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 left death and destruction in its wake, but young Elsie Drummond survived. In this volume of the Young Texans Series, we return to 1900, a time without effective hurricane tracking technology or warning systems. Elsie Drummond is celebrating her 11th birthday with friends when the storm approaches. As the hurricane gathers intensity, Elsie's mother escorts the party guests home and instructs the young girl to prepare for the onslaught of the storm. During the storm and in its aftermath, Elsie discovers talents and a tenacity she didn't know she possessed.

In the summer of 1928, sixteen-year-old Minka was looking forward to a sewing class picnic. This would be a rare chance to put aside farm chores, don a pretty dress, and enjoy an outing with other girls. It would be a day to remember. And it was - but not in the way Minka had dreamed. Cornered by a stranger in the woods, the young girl was assaulted. Minka still believed that the stork brought babies; she would not discover for months that she was pregnant.

In the summer of 1928, sixteen-year-old Minka was looking forward to a sewing class picnic.

Cornered by a stranger in the woods, the young girl was assaulted. Minka still believed that the stork brought babies; she would not discover for months that she was pregnant.
