Keeping Safe the Stars by Sheila O'Connor

4.0

Set during the time period of the Watergate Trials and Nixon’s resignation, three orphaned siblings find themselves without a guardian once more when their grandfather, Old Finn, falls ill with encephalitis. Fiercely guarding his privacy, they strive to maintain their independence on their 40 acre farm, Eden. Yet as the money runs out and the foster system closes in, they must make it to the hospital in Duluth to ask Old Finn what to do. Filled with a sense of foreboding, this novel kept my stomach in knots.
