Second book of the Home Fires series.

The six Schrock schoolchildren were walking the railway tracks toward Snowshoe. Suddenly a train whistle sounded behind them, making their hearts freeze with fear... [as] they saw a large locomotive bearing down upon them. Petrified with fright, the children seem rooted to the spot....

"Move!" yelled Kathryn, the first to react. Seizing Doris' hand, she jerked her over the rail to safety. Edwin and Laverne followed—seconds before the first engine thundered by them....

"Where are Andie and Rosalie?" cried Kathryn above the roar of the train.

It seems the lively and adaptable Schrock family is always facing some excitement or emergency as they settle into their new home in the Canadian Rockies.

Mother's calm serenity and Father's faith in God and faithful application of the Word steer the family safely through every difficult situation.

A sequel to Home Fires Beneath the Northern Lights, this book also provides interesting and profitable reading for children of junior and intermediate age.
