Customer Reviews

The best Taylor Caldwell book, the best book, period.

This fun little book does not have all of the descriptive language from her other best selling books. Rather, we are treated to objective even blunt observations about growing up tough in her particular hhousehold.Why did the teacherexplain ethnic differences to the children and nothing was ever the same for them again? A version of Mrs. Buttons lives on, donating clothing to charity while snipping the useful buttons for her own use. And when a social worker wants to know how bad things have become at home, of course you "crank one up" truth is relative here, until the neighborhood policeman checks out the parental neglect and lack of food in the house and finds neither.
