Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: A Trail of Crumbs
Book Author: Susie Finkbeiner
What do you like about this book:
"Once you go, you can't never get back."
Pearl Spence is a survivor; for she has survived more tragedy than most ten year old girls could even imagine, much less endure; and trying to see "how all things work together for the good of those who love God", according to her beloved Meemaw; is getting harder and harder for Pearl to believe. When the unthinkable occurs, she and her family are forced to relocate, leaving the dust blown town of Red River, Oklahoma far behind, while they struggle to embrace the friendly community of Bliss, Michigan as their new home.
The love of her family has always provided Pearl's tender heart with a measure of certainty; naturally, when grief exposes a deep fissure in that stability, Pearl is left wondering whether or not a "trail of crumbs" is enough to lead anyone back home.
Susie Finkbeiner has beautifully heightened her readers' expectations, for this second installment in her "Pearl Spence" series is just as lovely as the first, giving a poignant glimpse into the era now known as the "Great Depression".
