Anna og Atle har gitt seg i lag med Kallefølget og Finnskogfølget. De drar til Røros i håp om å finne Marielles sankedatter, Gudrun. En kveld de slår leir, dukker lensmannen opp. " Jeg vil ikke ha tatere liggende her. Pakk sakene deres!" "Vi er slitne og skal bare ligge her en natt," svarte Atle. "Om dere ikke drar, vil vi jage dere med makt, og hestene kan dere se langt etter." "Vi er fredelige folk og vil ikke ha bråk," brøt lederen for Finnskogfølget inn. "Vi bryr oss ikke om annet enn at dere er tatere," ropte lensmannen. "Forsvinn, ellers vil dere få mer å gråte for enn noen bortkomne fantunger."
Er ikke Kristian glad for å bli far? Maria er fortvilet, og spørsmålene hoper seg opp. Hvorfor oppfører han seg så merkelig? Og hvem er egentlig far til barnet?Inger sliter som gjeterjente. Hun er yngst, men må likevel gjete den kvigen som er mest egenrådig. Verst blir det når Dropla går i myra.Inger grep fatt i bukkehornet. Lyden skar gjennom luften. Peder, Anne og Arvid kom i full fart nedover fjellsiden. "Hjelp!" skrek hun. "Dropla har gått i myra." Anne forsøkte å nærme seg kvigen, men sank til knærne. "Ikke gjør det!" ropte Inger skingrende. Peder bannet. "Holder det ikke at du ikke passet godt nok på? Har du tenkt å skremme Dropla så hun graver seg enda lenger ned?"

About Janet: My Grandmother's Stories by Keith BrowerAn engaging recollection of one woman's journey from Quebec to rural Alberta post WWI as told by Janet's own captivated grandson--the author and artist, Keith Brower.What Others Have Said About Janet: My Grandmother's Stories"Keith Brower has captured the fascinating story of his maternal grandmother's migration from the English speaking eastern townships of Quebec to the farming life of east central Alberta after WWI. Important, the author's grasp of the English language creates the required pictures for the reader's imagination to stay with the story line. The stories have been organized on basic chronological sequence but the memories are not verbatim accounts; the memories of his grandmother's stories are re-told in the author's own words. The book will make an important contribution to understanding the post WWI development of Alberta. The added feature is the drawings at the beginning of each chapter which are the author's own artistic contribution."- Dr. David Rainey, Senior Research Fellow, UK
