Mama said I was born by a stream named Sweetwater. She called me Sassy the moment she realized I was a girl. Mama said girls should be sassy, gives them sex appeal. So I was named Sassy, after an attitude, and Sweetwater, after a stream."This lines above sucked me right in. And this is just the first couple of sentences of this book. I was given a complimentary copy of The Story of Sassy Sweetwater in exchange for an honest review. Sassy is born to her mother Violet McLaughlin in 1949. Not sure how to say this nicely but her mother tends to have her priorities a little out of order. Sassy and Violet wind up going back to her home. Not surprisingly Violet leaves Sassy to run of with her latest flavor of the month. It is during this time Sassy meets and falls in love with dreamboat, Thomas Tierney.Sassy is a strong young lady who goes through so many things and comes out smelling like a rose. I do think Violet loved Sassy just in my opinion didn't know how to show it considering the circumstances. The Story of Sassy Sweetwater is full of so many colorful characters it is so hard to pick a favorite! I loved them all so much!This book has everything you could possible want in a story. I really enjoyed reading this story. This is the first historical novel I have read and it really peaked and kept my interest throughout the whole book.I would recommend it to anyone.
