So freaking sad, but good! It’s really a story about the love of a mother during the hardships of the Great Depression. It’s told through the perspectives of a mother and her 13 year old daughter. So well done, but sad af.

This was a truly amazing book. The author went into such detail with their writing and it made me sob twice. The first half was the stronger of the two but overall such a strong book!
Moderate: Physical abuse, War, Murder, and Sexism
