Helpful Score: 2
The life story of this novels heroine, Truly, is one of hardships, death and misunderstanding. Despite her obstacles, she manages to grow up to be a kind, hard-working person with a good moral conscience. She looses both of her parents early in life, and shortly after, she finds herself permanently separated from her sister, who is her only remaining family member.
Truly finds a good life with a poor family in town, and helps out on their farm while attending the local school. As as adult, her life takes a turn and she finds herself the caretaker of the small town doctors home and his child, Bobbie. Her relationship with Bobbie is one of my favorites throughout the novel. The novel spans most of Trulys lifetime, and much of Bobbies as well.
There is enchantment, mystery and unexpected romance in the last two parts of the book that part one of the story just didnt seem to possess. Its well worth reading through the first part to reap the rewards of the rest of the novel.
