1932: Located on the banks of the Gilead River in Minnesota, Lincoln School is home to hundreds of Native American boys and girls who have been separated from their families. The only two white boys in the school are orphan brothers Odie and Albert, who, under the watchful eyes of the cruel superintendent Mrs. Brickman, are often in trouble for misdeeds both real and imagined. The two boys' best friend is Mose, a mute Native American who is also the strongest kid in school. And they find another ally in Cora Frost, a widowed teacher who is raising her little girl, Emmy, by herself.

Beautifully haunting
Revisado: 02-06-20
Like Huckleberry Finn a story about children keeps the reader compassionate, forgiving and painfully aware of how common it is to fail them. When the author weaves into the characters resiliency and the ability to continue to laugh, trust and hope it also rubs off on the reader. This book is a gem and will stay with me a long time.

Jess Lawson, a 45-year-old healthcare consultant, wife, and mother of two, has spent most of her adulthood fostering the illusion of having a perfect life. Her impending empty-nest syndrome as her youngest child prepares to start college is troubling enough, but when her doctor husband, Arthur, announces his intention to take a prestigious new job on the other side of the country - and relocate without Jess - her world quickly crumbles.

Engrossing and very realistic
Revisado: 01-21-20
Maren Cooer captured the struggles of women in marriages that offer security without true intimacy. On the outside everything looks good and even fools Jess Lawson who is living it until...this is an excellent listen and one feels connected to her struggles and triumphs, both to understand the end of her marriage and work betrayals but also to empower herself in new ways; not just for success but for revitalization. The supporting characters were realistic, flawed and very likable.
