Helpful Score: 4
Beautifully written & researched novel about two women who grew up in different eras miles apart, yet share so much in common. When I first realized the author was going to jump back and forth between the 1920s and current day, I definitely got that "Oh no" feeling that the Depression Era was going to be romanticized, but Kline wrote a brutally honest, seemingly true to history account for Dorothy's childhood.
This story also brings some of the predominant issues of foster care - both current and historical - to light in a way that doesn't feel like you're being beaten over the head with a guilt trip. Highly recommended, will read again!
