I lived during some of the years described in this book.  It was a hard time but everyone was in the same condition so we didn't really think we were any different and as a child, I didn't know any better times.  The portrait of Mary Jerod was similar to a lot of people from those years.  The flour sack dresses were wonderful to kids of that time.  It wasn't all bad before we had all our social protection programs in place but it was a lot scarier in many ways.  I thought the author did an excellent job on all the characters, especially pointing out the big differences between the girls personalities.It was a very good read and I enjoyed it.
