This was an interesting addition to the Dear America series. I appreciated the historical insight into the Shakers and their way of living. Lydia's point of view was also interesting and unique. However, I did find some parts of this one to be rather unrealistic, such as how Lydia moved on so quickly from This review by J.D. Staton provides further insight into a few other problems with the story. While reading, I didn't think Like the Willow Tree was a bad story. However, after further thought, I've lowered my rating from 4 stars to 3 stars. Some caution should be taken if one is giving this story to a young reader (see Staton's review), and of course, discernment should always be used for any book that you read anyway. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
