A review by tamfilley
The Silver Star by Jeannette Walls

4.0

Read this for book club and it made for an interesting discussion. It was well written and heartbreaking at the same time.Jeannette Walls has a knack for writing about difficult subjects. 12 year old "Bean" Holliday and her sister Liz are left to fend for themselves when their mother goes off to "find herself". Soon the authorities relocate the girls from California to third uncle's dilapidated mansion in Virginia, where Bean and Liz struggle to make sense of their all to tumultuous lives.
