Customer Reviews

Excellent, sensitive, kind!

O'Connor's gentle portraits of very realistic childhood experiences of two girls forced into the world of adults too early are very touching. Living with a divorced mom, hoping for their dad to come home, dealing with difficult economic situation and issues of faith - it's all there! Very clear, very brief yet concise, lyrical prose you will LOVE!
