Jane Flory (1917-2005) wrote over 30 childrens books with "Mist" being the second in the Amanda Scoville series. "It had been a year now since Pa had died of the fever and, as the eight Scoville girls, their mother, and Mr. Aaron the peddler sat before the Christmas fire, they could look back on that year with a satisfaction-and joyfulness-that they would not have thougth possible just twelve months earlier" (jacket flap).
