Our Only May Amelia by Jennifer L. Holm

3.0

May Amelia is the only girl in her family and the only girl in her town along a fairly remote river in Oregon in the late 1800's. Everyone tells her she is not a proper lady, which is fine with her, because she doesn't want to be a proper lady. Life is rough with all those brothers and her parents and then her mean grandma telling her what to do. Finally her mother has a baby sister and things start looking up. And then the near breaking point of May Amelia.

I liked it. But wasn't totally moved by it. I recommend reading it. It is good YA period fiction.
