Searching for Shona | Margaret J. Anderson
post image

A lonely rich girl impulsively swaps places with a girl named Shona while being evacuated because of the London Blitz, and finds a whole new family and life. One of my favorites.

Karisimo I love stories about the children‘s evacuation from London! Thanks for sharing!! 2w
willaful @Karisimo Oh, this is such a good one. Another I read recently is The Winter is Past. (Not a children's book, but has a major child character.) It's awfully sad though. 2w

🔟 Struggled to get through this as I felt it was quite slow and I wasn‘t really that bonded to any of the characters! I had visited the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge and had read about the Titanic Orphans there, an incredible story really but I felt it took a lonnnng time to get to it.

I listened to it while traveling and I think the distractions may have been the reason I just didn‘t get into this one. Maybe I‘ll revisit it someday.

1. I am grateful for a gratitude practice to remind me what I have in my life when I‘m dragging.
2. Friendships - at a point in my life where I appreciate girlfriends and connecting.
3. A kind life partner, my husband has been my rock through life, loss and continuing sandwich generation challenges. 😊

Pickpick

This book explores the use of eugenics in NC through a fictional character. Eugenics was unfortunately a practice that was used in NC until the 1970s. The state has since set up a fund to pay victims for what they had to endure. In the story Leah‘s father passes away suddenly (her mom died when she was born). The story takes place in the 1930s & there are definite distinctions between classes. As well as Leah growing up near the beach to moving to

ncsufoxes a bigger city, Matthews (which is outside of Charlotte). Some parts want to make you scream but then realizing that this is the 1930s & life just sucked if you were poor. #bookspin book 9mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 9mo
