Customer Reviews

One of the Best Books EVER for Young Girls

I read this book years ago first, and it always stayed with me. It's wonderful. I STILL love it and now I'm in my thirties. It will make you very happy at times and it will make you cry buckets of tears too...and it's worth the tears. Most of the time, I can't abide things, books or movies, that make me cry...I hate sentimental nonsense that's obviously engineered to tug at my heartstrings. However, this book feels so authentic, even this old cynic can't help but love it still. I hope you will too.

Unforgettable

I read this book years ago, and lent it to a friend. I never got the book back, but I never forgot it. To this day I remember the characters and the impact they had on me. I have found the book again, and enjoyed it just as much now as I did years ago.

The Diary of Trilby Frost is a wonderful coming of age novel

I read this book in seventh grade and loved it! Trilby is a wonderfully endearing character. This coming of age book follows her relationship with Sol (a cherokee half-breed) and her family. It is beautifully written and the passage at Sol's grave haunts me still today.
