Lesia's Dream
Found at these bookshops Searching - please wait We were unable to find this edition in any bookshop we are able to search. These online bookshops told us they have this item: Tags What are tags? A good, strong, moral character who has to take care of her family when the males are away and her mom is sick. What's not to like? I didn't mind Minnie that much. Sure, she was an inconsiderate, nasty girl, your typical antagonist rather like I remember Nellie in Little House on the Prairie , but I saw a glimmer of redemption towards the end of the book.
I didn't particularly like Ahafia Magus, Lesia's mom.
Gregory Magus, her dad Jun 21, Marilyn rated it really liked it Shelves: I read "Lesia's Dream" for one example at what life could have been like for her, so I was reading more for the "historical" part of historical fiction. But along with giving a detailed picture of the natural and human world in part of Manitoba around the time of World War I, the book has a strong and endearing protagonist, and the story flows very nicely. It turned out to be a quick read because I was so thoroughly pulled into Lesia's story.

Sure, it isn't the kind of story most want to read about, but I still love it! Lesia and her dream have such an important message within this book, and even though I found this at an old secondhand store, I cherish it.
