Dear Readers,
I am so excited. I just found a book online that I have been looking for to give to my mother. Many years ago, I was about 15 or so when she recommended the book to me. She said it was one of her favorites and thought I might like it, that was pretty much all she said about it.
I have to admit when I asked for Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson at the local library I wasn't overly impressed with the cover. It was just a plain green cover and didn't have anything about the story line on it, but I do remember the librarian was excited that I was going to read it. She said "not many people check that book out much anymore." At the time I thought that didn't sound good for the book.
I was wrong, this is a good book and it has stuck with me over the years. I have wanted to share it with my daughters and yet could never seem to find a copy when I was thinking of it. I was reading different reviews on line about it and it talks about being as important as Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Othello. I didn’t know anything about it back when I read it the first time, but it is one I recommend that if you haven’t had a chance to read it, pick it up. Don’t let an ugly cover discourage you. It is worth the read.
Happy Reading
