A review by ashleysilver7
The Last Carolina Girl by Meagan Church

4.0

This was both a heart-breaking and uplifting story about a girl named Leah, who grew up on the beach in North Carolina. Her mother died in childbirth, and her father works as a lumberjack...they have a very humble existence, but they are happy, until tragedy strikes and Leah is an orphan. I don't want to give too much away, but suffice it to say things don't go well for Leah in her new home, but she never forgets who she is. Thankfully, things turned around for Leah eventually, and it ended up being an uplifting novel, set against the shameful back drop of America's past.
