Welcome to Litsy!

8th book read November 2024

Beautifully written but so sad. It is the situation of this family struggling and trying to survive during the depression era. The story is narrated by Margaret one of the Haldmarnes daughters. The author describes the environment so well during this period of time, the poverty situation, racism, mental health, etc. no happy endings, no hopes just the real situation that permeated at that time⬇️

@julieclair apologies for the late post! Litsy wasn‘t working for me Saturday and I lost track of time yesterday. 😄
Thanks so much for this thoughtful #LitsyFoundFamilySwap box! I really look forward to using the potting mat and trying the treats. I‘ve never heard of Abbi Waxman so I appreciate the recommendation to try something new. 🥰
Much appreciated, new friend!
