A powerful and poignant story of two young girls' friendship, family, loss, and loyalty, set in 1940s Saskatchewan.
"Beryl Young's novel Miles to Go is sparse, poetic and, at times, perfectly heart wrenching. It subtly captures the coming of age of two young prairie girls. The beauty of this story is in the little things, the life things. In short: it's wonderful."--Arthur Slade, Governor General's Award-winning author of Dust
"This is a tender story about two friends dealing with tragic personal loss. Beryl Young captures a snapshot of small town life in the 1940s. Lovingly told, realistic, sad, and, like life, often very funny."--Harriet Zaidman, teacher-librarian and writer, Winnipeg, Manitoba
Miles to Go is the story of a friendship between two twelve-year-old girls in a small Saskatchewan town. In the spring of 1948, each girl faces a heavy personal loss and challenges that threaten their friendship. Through a hard few months the girls learn the meaning of loyalty and the value of keeping a promise. Loosely based on the author's own experiences of growing up in rural Saskatchewan, this book's timeless themes and authentic emotion will speak to young readers.
Review

With the feel of books like Little House on the Prairie, this book is actually based on a true story. It is a story full of heartache and struggles, depicting life on the prairies in a small town. It is also the story of two best friends who learn through trial and error about life, family and best friends. Beryl Young painted a realistic insight into life in rural Canada. Miles To Go is a story that captivates the reader and makes you think. A story that stays with you.
