I still have it on my bookshelf but haven't read it in a while. I dearly love the book. It made a deep and lasting impression on me. I recognized something in it I didn't see in every book I read -- the importance of developing character. <BR/><BR/>I also read Gene Stratton Porter's companion book Freckles, which also addresses some tough issues. It was very good for me to read it at the time. It made me step outside of my protected world and think about issues that are very real. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the reminder of these books. I think I might just pick them up and read them again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
