About this ebook
Sarah Smith doesn’t remember much about her early years. She knows her mother died when she was six, and her father moved her and her younger brother to Northern Idaho. Once there, her life changed drastically.
The only vivid memory she has of her early childhood is time spent with her best friend Juniper Holland. In her letters to Juniper, Sarah reveals her innermost thoughts and feelings about her reclusive life with three younger brothers in under the rigid oppression of her father and stepmother, who call themselves Separatists. Their lives are turned upside down by an FBI investigation of her father’s association with members of the Aryan Nation. When he refuses to be arrested on an illegal weapons charge, a standoff occurs. As the tension and violence escalate, Sarah faces life and death decisions in order to survive.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It’s been six years since 12 year-old Sarah Smith moved away from her Ft. Meyers, Florida home after the sudden death of her mother in an automobile accident. She and brother Abraham moved around with their dad from Georgia to Missouri and finally settled on a mountaintop in Bonner’s Ferry, Idaho. Life isn’t easy for Sarah. Dalton, her dad, is a Separatist. He believes in a strict interpretation of the Bible. Since Sarah’s isolated home doesn’t have a TV, telephone, indoor plumbing, or a nearby school, she passes her free time writing letters to her friend, Juniper, who she hasn’t seen since she was in kindergarten. Peggy Tibbetts writes a heart-rendering story from Sarah’s perspective about life with a dad still living in the 19th Century; and his close alliance to the members of the Order, a group aligned with the neo-Nazi group, the Aryan Nation. Dalton Smith is a gunsmith preparing for the upcoming revolution against the U.S. government. His wife, Shelly, is a wicked step-mom treating Sarah more like Cinderella than a beloved daughter. Through the literary use of a journal of letters, Sarah reveals a life most pre-teens would cringe at—chores from sunup to sundown, friends living miles away, and little contact with a friendly face. From first page to last readers will be engrossed in Sarah’s plight until the mind-numbing climax. (Warning: Read Letters to Juniper with a box of Kleenex by your side.)
