Linsey, Herself...

I read this book when I was about 12, and I have kept it for over 20 years. Recently I unpacked a box of old books and found it again. Re-reading it was amazing, what a sublte, gentle, coming-of-age story. I was the middle child myself, with older and younger sisters whom I often felt outshown me, so I identified with Linsey very much. I highly recommend this book for young girls, and young women, and women. It is lovely.

Highly recommended (rare book)

If you're looking for something for a young lady experiencing her "awkward years," this may be the perfect gift. I first read this book when I was 12. I lost my copy when I was 16 and just recently bought it again at the age of 30. Great "triumph of the human spirit" read.Linsey is the second oldest and only red-head in a poor family of five children. Outshined by her older sister in beauty and by her younger sister in brains (and then beauty again). A compelling coming-of-age story for those looking for a happy ending. Runs the emotional gammut with death, spiritual triumph, unrequited love, family bonds, and ultimately true love realized.
