afro75 's review for:
Gone Crazy in Alabama
by Rita Williams-Garcia
I completely fell in love with Vonetta, Delphine, and Fern when I first met them in "One Crazy Summer". My love for the authors use of time and space to create authentic characters only intensified when I read "P.S. Be Eleven". Ms. Garcia has crafted relationships that transcend the setting of the story. The setting starts in the Jackson 5 era but the relationship dynamics are accessible to all readers. "Gone Crazy in Alabama" continues in the same vein, crafting a complicated weave of familial relationships inherent in many blended families. The themes of love, forgiveness, and finding what's really important in life resonate in the story. Great story for children of blended families who may be struggling to find the ways to connect their various parts.
