Description

Buffalo Flats by Martine Leavitt is an epic coming-of-age story set in the Northwest Territories of Canada during the late 1800s. Seventeen-year-old Rebecca Leavitt has traveled from Utah to join her father and brothers, who are establishing a new community with other Latter-Day Saints. Rebecca faces numerous challenges as she navigates pioneer life, including harsh weather conditions, financial struggles, and personal relationships. With her father's support, she sets out to earn the money needed to buy land outright, but the task proves daunting. As Rebecca survives the relentless challenges of the wilderness, she must also confront her own desires and sense of identity. This novel explores Latter-Day Saints culture and the hardships of pioneer life, delving into themes of family, faith, friendship, and romance.
