SynopsisMay Amelia Jackson is the only girl ever born on the Nasel River -- a Real Miracle, her family says. And with seven brothers, she believes it. Sometimes she even forgets she's a girl and goes fishing or tending the sheep with her brothers. But other times her family does make her feel like a Miracle -- whether they're being just plain maddening and making her stay inside when a real live murderer's on the loose, or whether they're telling her she's the only May Amelia they've got. What May thinks would be the greatest Miracle of all, though, if the baby inside her mamma's belly turned out to be a girl. Will May always be their only Miracle or will the new baby be the little sister she's been hoping for?, May Amelia Jackson is the only girl ever born on the Nasel River-A Real Miracle, her family says. And with seven brothers she believes it. Most of the time she forgets that she's a girl, like when she wears her overalls to go fishing with Wilbert or helps Uncle Aarno and the boys make the fishing nets. But sometimes her family does treat her like A Miracle, and it's just plain maddening, like when Pappa yells at her for running around the logging camp or orders her to stay in the house because there's a real live murderer on the loose. Once in a while, though, it's good to be treated like a Miracle and have a whole family looking after their only May Amelia. Still, what May thinks would be the greatest Miracle of all is if the baby in her mamma's belly turned out to be a girl. Will May always be their only Miracle, or will the new baby be the little sister she's been hoping for? In this refreshingly spirited addition to historical fiction, Jennifer L. Holm bursts onto the literary scene with a story inspired by the diary of her Finnish-American grandaunt. Book jacket.
