great summer read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a beautifully written, very realistic look at life during the Great Depression. It is about a privelaged young girl who has to give up her own bedroom for her relatives who come to stay with her family after her uncle loses his job. She learns so much about real life through her compassionate father who is a gifted doctor who helps heal the poor. She learns to overcome her fears and predujices and grows up into a strong young lady. This is not a cheap, flaky romance for females who don't ever want to see pain and change, but rather one for those who are (or want to be) women of compassion, wisdom, maturity, and influence.

Ann Tatlock brings us a sweet story of innocence, laced with subtle humor and warm spirit. It was truly refreshing to me to read a historical novel that gives one hope for the future. This is one "jewel" of a book that will leave you feeling better about yourself and the world around you. The characters jump off the page and you can easily relate to each. Excellent story line laced with fresh insights into this period of our history.

I was totally fascinated by the characters in this good book. I learned so much about the Depression years, and I actually enjoyed learning about this period in our history. This author has a gift. Her next book is already in my shopping cart awaiting purchase. Definitely five stars.
