Written in diary format...I felt like I was right there with Mary as she went through the hard and good times. I felt sad when she lost track of Sean and happy when she found out that Alice was being taken care of. Very good book that teaches you a bit about the history of that era in such a way that you don't realize that you are learning some history as you read.
