Hopedale, Massachusetts
in 1855 is a town unlike any other. Everyone who lives here made
a vow never to kill, hate, or hurt another human being - not even their
worst enemy. There are no rich people and no poor people. Everyone
has a job and everyone shares.
Hopedale was a regular stop for the
Underground Railroad and often hosted runaway slaves escaping north
to Canada. Women wore pants which was unheard of in pre-Civil War times.
This picture book presents the Hopedale Community through the eyes
of one if its youngest memebers, eight-year-old Susie Thwing, a real
person who kept a diary and wrote letteers which are the source of
this book. Her job is to deliver the mail to everyone in Hopedale and
sell the special pink Hopedale Penny Post stamps. In this book, young
readers can join Susie as she makes her rounds and shows what makes
her town so special.
