Enjoy!

Shelf sort read ! 2 girls born on the same day in a small New Hampshire hospital whose situations couldn‘t be less alike . Ruth longs to pursue art & adventure. She takes for granted her grounded family rooted to a farm for generations. Dana is born to a couple of drifters & dreamers, feeling often she‘s more of the adult than her parents. She is grounded in reality & science.born in 1950, get caught up in the times , think Woodstock & Vietnam.

#AboutABook #FromTBRList this shelf project is going to take a LONG time. My TBR pile has been pretty stagnant too!🙄So after doing 2 shelves , culling a duplicate, moving some to another location to be by the rest by an author,I said I liked Maynard‘s Labor Day & this is the book after that one. Then WHAT ? This book has been on a shelf since 2010? It‘s next ! Sheesh

HISTORICAL FICTION - DRAMA

What a heartwarming, cozy, feel good read.....a sweet, nostalgic book...but with all good things there usually are regrets, heartbreak, and secrets.

You will be surprised at who/what the “good daughters” turn out to be and will also learn some fun agricultural facts about fruits and vegetables.

If you liked The Glass Castle, you will like this as well.

In this world where children are being bombarded with sex, perverse ideologies, and absent fathers, this book is a cry from the walls for dads to step up and in. We have to engage. We are (outside of the heavenly Father) the role model for their future husbands. We have a direct effect on the course of their life. Be there. Fight for your daughter. Great resource for any dad.

I watched the movie on PureFlix. I cried. I have 3 girls. I'll take all the help I can get!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I picked this book up at the library on a whim. It turned out to be so good I bought a copy. It's now required reading for our family. The author does such a good job of presenting truth in a practical way to help equip parents to do their job.

#SummerSpecial Day 11: This story is told in the voice of a young girl who proudly introduces her father to the reader #FatherDaughter; a father who often apologizes to her for activities they are unable to do together because he is not able to walk. While the father is shown in the first few pages as being in a wheelchair, other pages simply depict him as spending time with his daughter who enjoys his company. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ppK

A POWERFUL reminder of how important being a dad is.

Day 8 - Connection

I was undecided whether or not to share my connection with others or nature. This photo symbolises both. The bouquet I picked from my garden, for Mum's 20 year anniversary of her death.
Gone but never forgotten.
