Cabbage Beauty and a Dutch School Move
Selina travels with Minas Pool to High Prairie to begin teaching at Klaas Pool's farm house. She meets Klaas's son Roelf, learns Roelf is not to attend school, and encounters Maartje Pool, a young housekeeper. Selina feels a mix of adventure and unease as she adapts to a new Marquee life in the Illinois Dutch community.
