This is the first book I've read by Susie Finkbeiner and it was a very positive experience. Finkbeiner created a tale that was multifaceted. Historical information delivered in a riveting story that made it hard to put the book down. Emotional and relational dilemmas that give the reader a lot to think about long after the last page of the book is read. Annie, the heroine of the story is a young woman on the brink of discovering herself. Right when it seems life is steady and stable several things happen. Her long lost father re-enters into her life. Her older brother joins the army and is sent to Vietnam. A newcomer to town also catches her eye even though the racial tensions in town cause many to murmur against their budding friendship. As Annie navigates the complex emotions in her own heart as well as the social ramifications of her choices she learns to to rely on God in a deeper way.
I received this book from the publishers and was not required to write a positive review.
