The Wooden Chair by Rayne E. Golay is a powerful read. The book starts in Finland during the war in 1943. People fled the capital, had to leave their family, friends and their whole lives behind them.The main character, Leini, is very endearing. You feel for her from the first page. Her behavior is very touching to win her "mama's" love, no matter to what lengths she has to go. A little girl with a mother who doesn't love her, is quite harsh, but very real. Later, as a wife and mother Leini is strong and real.The drama throughout the book is thought provoking and touching. THE WOODEN CHAIR is extremely well written.I was given a copy of this book for an honest review.
