Our Only May Amelia by Jennifer Holm

Set in the late 19th century in the rugged wilderness of Washington State, the story follows the spirited and adventurous twelve-year-old girl who is the only daughter in a Finnish-American family with seven brothers. Her life is a whirlwind of challenges and adventures as she navigates the expectations of her traditional family and the rough-and-tumble world around her. With a heart full of dreams and a fierce determination, she faces the trials of growing up, from sibling rivalries to the harsh realities of frontier life, all while yearning for acceptance and understanding in a world that often seems to have little room for a girl like her.
