A lot happens in chapter 1. The reader is introduced to Lyddie and her family. Lyddie is a 13 year old girl and the oldest of four children. Her younger brother is named Charlie, and the two youngest siblings are both girls. The chapter begins with Lyddie doing some cooking, because mom is not quite right after her husband left (sounds kind of like Katniss and The Hunger Games). While Lyddie is cooking, a bear enters the house in search of food. It's Lyddie's quick thinking and actions that save the family.
Unfortunately, Lyddie's mom sees the entire thing as a sign from the devil. She makes the decision to move into her sister's house. She takes the two youngest children with her, because Charlie and Lyddie refuse to leave the farm. They believe their father will return. Lyddie and Charlie manage the house and farm quite well during the winter, but receive bad news from mom in the spring. She has sold the farm to pay off family debts. Charlie and Lyddie are to move out and come be with mom immediately.
