I read this book in one day if that isn't endorsement enough, I don't know what is. I couldn't stop reading to find out if Flossie would stand up to the bullies and if Bertha ever got to live her dream and what would become of their father accused of being a communist. Why was Uncle Matthew a recluse? And did Mother regret leaving her homeland to come to America? But the story was much more than just these notions. In each of the hearts of the Harding family lies deeper and signifcant issues. The way the individual members found healing as well as how family came together to help each other was truly beautiful to read. Despite their differences the tender regard and steadfast love of this family makes an impact that stays with you after you read the last page. This book is more than just an entertaiing read it actually teaches a lot about human nature, fear versus bravery, bullies versus faithful friends and surviving the hard times with grace and hope.
I received this book from the publishers but was not required to write a positive review.
