Birdie, Book 3 of the Abercrombie Trail Series by Candace Simar, was released by North Star Press in May 2011. Birdie continues the story of Evan and Inga Jacobson from Abercrombie Trail, eleven years after the 1862 Sioux Uprising. They struggle to raise their family in the midst of bank failures, grasshoppers and lingering effects of the Indian war. Harsh economic realities force them to relocate to Otter Tail County where they must begin again in a hostile environment. It also continues the story of Pomme de Terre’s Ragna Larson, their foster daughter, who grows up haunted by her missing sister, Birdie. Though both girls were kidnapped by the Sioux during the Uprising, only one returned. Ragna must make peace with the past before she can move forward with her life. Evan and Inga must do the same.
