I originally picked up the book 'Carly's Song' at the library, because the cover caught my eye. Then I read the review and realized it was a continuation of 'The Remember Box' so I've decided to read this one first. It was a nice story, but basically just several 'stories' from Carly's childhood. It was the kind of book that I read a few pages and then put it down and fell asleep. I didn't feel compelled to stay up late and read. I even almost put it down and decided it wasn't worth finishing. Not that it was a terrible book....just that there are other books on my list that seemed more exciting and worth my time. But I have a 'rule' for myself that unless a book is absolutely terrible or totally not my kind of book, I read at least the first 100 pages before I decide not to finish. This one took a few pages more than 100, but not many. It rapidly turned into a 'can't put it down' book! The book is told from Carly's point of view. Carly loses her mother and is sent to live with her aunt and uncle, who is a preacher and just beginning with his newest church. It is a very tiny NC town, 1950, and racism and the fear of communism are in full swing. Uncle Stephen, the preacher, puts great effort into leading the congregation past this, and they resist. Sides are taken, there is a murder and a trial, and the church is divided over it all. It's a good story. I can't wait to start 'Carly's Song'! sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
