This is such a charming story! I wish I had grown up with lots of family as Rose did. I loved everything about this book. Her Uncle is so sensible about health and physical activity, especially since this was written over 100 years ago. I loved what he thought about education as well, that the basics must be in firm place before adding in the “frivolous” stuff. I’ve read Little Women & Little Men, now I can’t wait to read everything else she’s written. And I’m sure I’ll be reading this one again in the future, it’s that uplifting

Honestly it was painful to listen to the racism, particularly when it's  directed at the racial group my spouse is part of...
