Someone gave me this book when I was young. It's the story of a girl growing up in the 50's. She struggles with a reading disability and slong with her mother befriends an impoverished family in her neighborhood. Not much more than that stands out for me, after all these years. I recall an incident with the shoes- she had special shoes just for sundays that she was supposed to keep clean, or something. I also recall the girl having a conversation with a sympathetic uncle who discovered why she was struggling with reading (I think she'd been hiding the issue) and helped her with it. Has anyone else read this book?

It looks familiar but I don't have any books like this from my childhood anymore (just the picture books--not sure why). I'm betting I read it--is it an LDS book?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. I don't have my copy anymore either. Or I left it at my mother's house.
