    About this series

    Sequel to Sitting on Top of the World

     

    June's new normal: Her brother is gone, her dad is gone, her mother is grieving, and June must find her place in the world. Her beau Jimmy is her only tonic. But when tragedy strikes again, she knows exactly who to blame for all her sorrows: Paul Burnett, the railroad bull who started the chain of devastation when he killed her brother.

     

    June sets out on a dangerous journey to make him pay, hopping freight trains to get where she needs to go, and accidents, floods, and attacks plague her route to revenge. Then when she gets to the Burnett farm in Lafayette, Virginia, she learns the truth about what happened to her brother out on the rails, and she's drawn right back into the things that made her fall in love with this place a year ago – including Paul.

     

    Now she must decide where she belongs – with Paul and his family, or back home with Jimmy in Maynardville, where everything she holds dear is there under the pawpaw trees.

      Fourteen-year-old June Baker never in a million years thought she'd be dressing like a boy, sneaking into a hobo camp, and jumping onto a moving freight train to travel across the state of Tennessee. But that's what she has to do to find work so her family's farm can survive.   It's 1933, and the Great Depression is spreading misery throughout America. Where once June was sitting on top of the world, now she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. Once she was picking fruit from the pawpaw trees, and now she's picking up the pieces of a family torn apart. Once she was climbing and falling from trees, and now she's jumping from moving trains.   June knows the risks. What she doesn't know is that the railroad bull she's falling for has a devastating secret that will change the course of her life. Journey with June in Sitting on Top of the World, a historical fiction tale about family, friendship, love, loss, and hope.   Sitting on Top of the World is a wholesome book appropriate for ages 11 and up, and would be a great addition to any classroom, library, or family collection.   Content warning: Some instances of physical violence, death, mention of suicide, mention of miscarriage, and characters encounter racial bigotry.
