This is the fifth and last book in the exciting Latsch Valley Farm Series, narrating the lives of four generations of a Polish-American extended family, living in neighboring homesteads in Wisconsin.
Betsy Korb is now eight years old, and as full of mischief as ever. In
Betsy's Up-and-Down Year; we follow Betsy as she learns the lessons of sharing, making up after quarrels, running errands and broadening her experiences within her large and loving family, under the firm and wise direction of Mom and Dad and underpinned by their Catholic faith.
Written in an engaging and easy to read style, the author, who is Betsy’s aunt, has carefully observed the triumphs and disasters in the life of the inquisitive and independent-minded Betsy as she grapples with the ups and downs of growing up, setting them in the warm context of family life—the Korbs’ own life and the bigger one that seems to fill Latsch Valley and spill out into the world beyond.
