Turtle Moon by Alice Hoffman

4.0

---

While this book was beautifully written, I think my heart is too tender right now to read about a baby the same age as my daughter- violently losing her mother and being rescued by a young boy and being fed stale donuts. The whole thing just had me hugging my daughter tighter and hoping she never experiences that kind of loss in her life. I loved the book, I thought it was descriptive and the characters were real and quirky. Another excellent Alice Hoffman book!
