McAuliffe Book Discussion (Morning): The Children’s Blizzard by Melanie Benjamin

January 1888, a sudden blizzard struck Dakota just as schools let out, leaving teachers with life-and-death choices. The novel follows two sisters, Raina and Gerda Olsen—one a hero, the other ostracized—along with Anette Pedersen, a servant whose survival changes her life, and a newspaperman seeking redemption.
