Do you remember a fictional book set in the 1800s prairie with the main character being a young girl named Phoebe?

I read this book 30 years ago but can't remember the title or author. I want to get it for my niece.It was similar to a Little House on the Prairie; there were native americans and I remember this young girl named Phoebe was very brave and responsible in caring for her home and family during harsh winters. Help!

It took place in the 1800’s in England. It’s part of the Chronicles of Carlingford series, but is a good standalone novel. I don’t know much about it myself, but here are some book covers that may spark your memory.

Margaret Oliphant, one of the most prolific and popular Victorian novelists, essayists, and reviewers, has been compared both in her day and our own to George Eliot. Oliphant wrote domestic novels that richly represent the broad social, political, and religious contexts of Victorian England. The Broadview edition of Phoebe Junior, the last novel in Oliphant’s Chronicles of Carlingford series, restores the earliest extant text.

The supplemental materials provide a rich background for examining key nineteenth-century issues such as religion and church reform, gender and the woman question, society and politics. They include excerpts from contemporary novels and poetry; newspaper articles; reviews; essays; polemic on religion and church reform; materials on gender and the woman question, and on etiquette and dress. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

The Catcher in the Rye When I read the first half of it I had the impression it took place in the 1920s or around the Great Depression era but was too captivated by all the characters, especially Phoebe, to pay it much thought.

1 It sounds like you are describing The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. I loved the character Phoebe! I had no idea when the setting of the novel was.It's the kind of book you kick yourself for not reading sooner, if you had the chance.

2 No, that's not it. This was definitely set in the "little house on the prairie" time - late 1800's. But thanks for trying.

3 Sorry my answer was in some sort of odd limbo. No matter how many times I told the thing I was done with my question, it didn't take. I hope that this book is closer.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
