Julie by Catherine Marshall
4.0
Summary: Marshall, author of the classic Christy, drew on her life experiences for this coming-of-age story in which a young girl discovers herself and the strength of her faith.
Julie, is a heartwarming, coming of age story about the struggles a young lady enounters with her family in post-depression Pennsylvania. Julie's family purchase the small town's local newspaper, and in doing so, enouncouter financial, political, and faith-based, tests. Her father's chronic illness, propels Julie in to a position of leadership and responsibility at the newspaper. Her talent as an investigative reporter also uncovers devestating news about a improperly built dam, that will prove prophetic and catastrophic.
Juile was our book group selection for the month of May. It was a delightful read, reminiscent of the work of L. M. Montgomery.
