Helpful Score: 2

This was an excellent book; I read it in 2 days which is quite fast for me. I usually get bored part way through and give it a rest. But this novel was well crafted. You had to admire and like the characters (or most of them anyway). Maybe because both my adopted daughters had been in foster care, but it was easy to connect to the author's images of their struggles and triumphs. Especially because their stories were told in a straight forward way with honesty and warmth but not gruesome in any way. Also it is about a little-known period in American history...found it fascinating.
