"Kemly's snow-streaked illustrations show Molly as a woman of
determination and strength, and a sense of both danger and heroism
radiates from the story." —Publishers Weekly
"Ochiltree and Kemly tell Molly Williams' story in lively prose and
richly modeled watercolors... All the pages are double-spread,
full-bleed images, showing much period detail along with the flames
and falling snow and Molly's signature bright blue calico dress and
checkered apron. Faces are broad and full of emotion, with Molly's
strong brown face showing every nuance of determination and
courage....A pleasing historical tidbit." —Kirkus Reviews
