The Golden Name Day by Jennie D. Lindquist
5.0
I read, re-read, and loved, this book growing up. I discovered it awhile ago in my keeper YA books, and thought it was time to revisit. It's just as delightful to read it as an adult, each page I turned, I found myself exclaiming, "I remember this part."
A wonderful snapshot of life at the turn of the 20th century, immigrant families, the joy of reading, the beauty of nature, and learning to be enchanted by our surroundings.
One thing I found interesting is that the Name Days are mentioned as being in the Almanac, but aren't tied in at all with being the commemoration of the saint that you are named after.
