BRING THEM BACK!

This series should never have gone out of print-I've never introduced them to a student yet who didn't love them! Unless you find a copy in a library, you are out of luck, and forget E-Bay, unless you want to pay a fortune for a copy that looks like it was dragged through the mud. Someday...

GLory in the Flower(I Agree. Bring it back)

When I was oh...13, 0r 14 I stumbled upon these books in my Junior-High school library and absolutely fell in love with them. Ever since, I searched for copies of them. Couldn't find them so I kind of gave up the search. A few years later, I realized there was more then 2 books to the series and have continued to this day to look for them, but to no avail. I really wish they would bring them back. They are obviously loved by many. (It's very comforting too, because there for awhile I swear I thought I was insane. No-one else seemed to know what I was talking about when I asked for the books)

I love these books

I have loved these books since I discovered an extereemly battared copy of the keeping days in a used bookstore in San Diego. The books are about an aspiring writer, Tish, and her family, who you will see is not very different from today. I would tell you to buy them but sadly the entire series of 7 books has been out of print since 1990, and are very hard to come by. I have literally been searching for 3 years to complete my set, and I still love and cherish them all even though I have reached the ripe old age of 15. These books are truly my scource of "chicken soup for the soul" and now I am checking this page weekly to see if they have been reprinted so that I can have a truly complete set of these books to love and cherish, and maybe someday I will be able to pass them on to my own children. So I plead to you, please bring them back. We need to see them again on the bookshelves of evry american girl so I beg you to please, bring them back so that we again can cherish them in our homes and our hearts.

Terrific, Bring These Books Back!

I absolutely loved this book. Norma Johnston is a gifted writer, and I have been trying to find the other four books in the series. They are all out of print, and I desperately want to continue reading the saga of Tish and the Sterling family. Puffin publishers, please bring these books back in print. I assure you many people will read them.The book is terrific, about a girl, Letisha, coming of age in early 20th century Yonkers and her family. The books in the series are The Keeping Days, Glory in the Flower, Sanctuary Tree, A Mustard Seed of Magic, A Nice Girl Like You, and Myself and I. I've only read the first two, and they were terrific.

Glory in the Flower

I originally read this series of books over 15 years ago. When your name is Bronwyn, you don't find characters with the same name. That is why I read the first book, but the fascinating characters and description of large family at the turn of the century is why I read the whole series. It is "wholesome" without being boring. It is "educational" without being stale. Tish offers a heroine who is sensitive, but flawed, which is the same as any girl today. Bring this series back in print!
