This is the first time I in a novel! Believe I have entered many contests, but I finally won.. and what is even better, the book is dedicated to me and I also received a button and a bookmark!

I didn't know what to expect for this book, I think the synopsis doesn't describe very well what the book is about. I am really happy that I won this novel, because I really liked it. The story takes place in the 1940s and is told by Elvira. Vira is a strong character, even though her short life has been anything but easy, she tells her story with a bright sense of humor that had me laughing out loud more than one.

The relationship between all the members of the family is somewhat strained, but in the mend. Elvira's determination is a force to be reckon with, and Jessie is ever-knowing and so sweet and mature for her age.

This is a novel worth reading. The cover is lovely too, and it represents a very important part of the plot.
