The Lost Mother by Mary McGarry Morris

4.0

A depression era book that follows a family that is torn apart by poverty and circumstance. The main focus is a young brother and sister, who are shuffled to various living arrangements, when their parents are no longer able to care for them. I thought this book was particularly depressing, because the children reminded me of my niece and nephew, who have had a hard time in their own lives.
