As adults, they were better known as Harriet Beecher Stowe, the famous author of Uncle Tom's Cabin--the book that catapaulted the nation into Civil War, and Henry Ward Beecher, the famous younger brother who became a much loved minister who preached against slavery and held mock slave auctions from his pulpit in Brooklyn, New York. Together they traveled through some of the most important historical movements in our country. But, in the beginning, they were just Hattie and Henry, born in the northwest hills of Southern New England and sheltered from the harsh realities of slavery. It seemed an unlikely connection to the rest of the Beecher family--the shy, tiny girl and her younger playful and dynamic brother, but it was one that took hold early and lasted a lifetime. As different as they were from one another, they became each other's support system in a large family that was dominated by a driven father, devastated by the loss of their mother, and challenged by emotional chaos. Loosely based on their childhood stories as revealed through family diaries and letters, Hattie and Henry of New England presents to young readers a fictional account of a brother and sister who helped each other find their true talents and become remarkable people. Their tale is the first in a series of Remarkable Kid Stories--a series with a positive message for today's remarkable kids.
