{"product_id":"seeking-signs-9780615830810","title":"Seeking Signs","description":"The 2013 Midwest Book Award winner for historical fiction.One hundred years ago, Minnie Seamer's death shocked her rural Iowa community. A young farmhand found her body hanging in the barn on a rainy summer morning in 1913. The coroner ruled it a suicide, but distraught family members were not convinced. Was it suicide-or was it murder?Seeking Signs, based on actual events, is the story of a young girl's search for answers in the wake of a family tragedy. To solve the mystery of her older sister's puzzling death, 13-year-old Elsie follows tips from a booklet titled \"The Baum Detective Agency Course.\" As she begins observing and gathering evidence, Elsie encounters clues that call into question the coroner's report and lead her into a shadowy world of deceit and betrayal. Elsie's notebook and entries from Minnie's diary reveal an unexpected truth: a truth that interprets a young wife's troubled past in a community not as safe as it seems.Seeking Signs takes the reader into a world steeped in history and superstition. As Elsie hunts for signs, her voice brings the time period and its people to life. The answers she finds take her investigation to a conclusion that changes the path of her life forever and ultimately catapults her from innocence to a compelling coming of age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Staci Angelina Mercado\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Four Feathers Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780615830810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Midwest Book Award (MIPA) - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStaci Mercado is the mother of four boys, a wife, a late bloomer, a delayed gratification artist, an obsessive-compulsive flare-up survivor, a small scale chicken farmer, a garden dirt junkie, a teacher, a voracious reader, a story collector, and a teller of tales.
