Between going out if town with my family, writing that typically doesn't take away from reading, but this time I,like, only wrote and didn't think about reading! Since I haven't read much lately I decided to go with a short book. This was a reread I have not read in forever.
It's a very sweet story. Although this book was a very quick read, the story was excellent, as was the sequel, Jessica's Mother. Feb 20, Emily rated it really liked it. Allowed itself to be much more realistic about life in general and the plight of Jessica than these books usually do.

Simple read, but some super interesting things going on, especially in regards to The Church, and the underclass. A great children's story!
This book is a little sad but very good. Also has a good lesson to learn. It is rather juvenile in its descriptions. The moral of the story is great though! Aug 22, Abigail rated it liked it.
