I loved this book in so many ways!
The only thing about it, though, was that it felt like it was written in diary form, and I'm not used to reading books like these. To me, it makes it that much harder to read.
However, there were things about this book that I adored, if that makes sense.
I loved the setting! I had no idea it was set in Eastern Kentucky! Which, of course, that was what made me love it!
Then there's the fact that it's a coming of age story.
Those seem to be my favorite for some reason. I think it's because I see myself in these youngsters.
I loved the family values that were portrayed in these books. Something that I've wished my family had. I know that some families still do even in these days and times.
Cora Mae and Ceily made me giggle in some places. The things they tried to do. I still smile when I think of them.
There was only one person whom I didn't care much for, but it wasn't really her fault. It was how she was raised. I almost felt sorry for her.
The people of this book gave me the feeling of being home again, and that's what I enjoyed most about this book.
I'm still giving this book 5 stars because of the feelings it gave, as I mentioned in the last paragraph.
I will be adding this to my keeper shelf. I highly recommend this book!
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.
