The Trouble with May Amelia by Jennifer L. Holm

2.0

I'm not a historical fiction reader, and this may be part of what I didn't like about the book. It just seemed to go down, down, down, and the situation just kept getting worse. I was glad it had some hope at the end, but most of the way through the book, I just wanted to put it down. I realize that it was a hard time period, but that's why I wouldn't necessarily choose to pick up books about it. I appreciated the character's qualities, that she was plucky and perservered, but didn't like many of the characters.
