WOW--this book blew me away--I was there in 1950, for two days (thats how long it took me to read this), i was there--this author is one of my favorites with Out Of The Night That Covers Me, and now this book. It is polio season and so pools and theaters are closed, kids made their own fun and blacks were still a bit seperated from whites. Pat Cunningham Devoto took me into this beautiful neighborhood, introduced me to lovely families on the block and then proceded to let me live their life with them. Tab is young and plays with Maudie, life is good except for the polio scare and the precautions that have to be taken. Ms. Devoto, had me engrossed, hanging on the edge of my chair, laughing out loud and sobbing uncontrobably, i was so involved in this read. it just sucks you in. I LOVED THIS BOOK. Today it is over and i wanna go back.
