Annie's little sister, Mary Kate, had only lived for 1 day before she had died. Annie's mother sat curled up in a rocking chair, a small little lump curled up in Annie's grandmother's sweater. Annie knew that the person that was in that rocking chair wasn't her mother. Annie desperately wanted a friend. Someone that she could trust and help. The person that she found was a women who lived down the hill from her. The women used to be murderer but Annie was able to see the nice side of her. I would definitely recommend this book for people who like a sad but also heartwarming story. The author made me feel like I was really in the story. The way the author revealed the plot was perfect. It made me want to keep reading the story. The author showed the emotions of the characters in an amazing way. I would definitely recommend this book to other people. The first thing this book reminded me of was the book “Getting Near to Baby” by Audrey Couloumbis. Maybe it is because I have an affinity to the hills and mountains of Tennessee and the Carolinas that I love a story like this. The fears of losing her mother to the depression that has engulfed her after the premature birth and death of her baby has left Annie afraid/ Her father is away in the Air Force and she is afraid to tell him of her fears. If she voices them they might come true. Helping her through her own grief is an outcast rumored to be a murderer. Annie is not sure who to trust but she puts her trust in this old woman. Once again another emotional read. I really enjoyed it. I felt it started a little slow and for that reason I am afraid my reluctant readers might give up too quickly. However, I look forward to sharing it with my students. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

This book really kept me busy for weeks when I was reading it. At the start it sounded very depressing but continuously got better and happier. Then depressing, it was kind of like in a loop. After Annie met Eliza everything started to "turn up to the sun". And get better near the end. I just really enjoyed this book and want to say thank you for the amazing reading.
