Read by Laural Merlington.

Fans of the Little House books will fall in love with Esther.-- Thanks to her superstitious mother, Esther knows some tricks for avoiding bad luck: toss salt over the left shoulder, never button shirt crooked, and avoid black cats. But even luck can't keep her family safe from the Great Depression. When Pa loses his job, Esther's family leaves their comfy Chicago life behind for a farm in Wisconsin. Living on a farm comes with lots of hard work, but that means there are plenty of opportunities for Esther to show her mother how helpful she can be. She loves all of the farm animals; except the mean geese, and even better makes a fast friend in lively Bethany. But then Ma sees a sign that Esther just knows is wrong. If believing a superstition makes people miserable, how can that be good luck?
