Understood Betsy - Chapter 2

Chapter 2 — Betsy Holds the Reins!

Little Elizabeth Ann is on her very first journey alone — leaving the only home she’s ever known to live with relatives she’s never met. The train clatters through the countryside, the air smells different, and the faces around her aren’t at all what she’s used to...

Then, quite suddenly, she finds herself in a wagon behind a pair of horses — and someone hands her the reins...! It’s a small moment, but for Elizabeth Ann, it’s the beginning of something entirely new: a taste of freedom and the first glimmer of the sturdy, capable Betsy she’s going to become.

Join us as we explore Dorothy Canfield Fisher's delightful, classic 1916 children's story about a sensitive 9-year-old orphan girl's tale of transformation...!
