Reviews
leah reich
As usual Eleanor H Porter manages to bring out the most important message that the me should serve the we & not the reverse).But she accomplishes the incredible feat of telling an engaging story where the realistic dialogue & monologue lead us to the aporopriate conclusions There is no preaching ! Instead the author deftly portrays a young girl struggle with the fallout of parents divorcing rather than attempting to workout their issues. A wonderful read with fabulous readers!!!
Every person who ever gets married should have to listen to this story! A bit of echoes... But we'll worth it! Some families might be kept together if the listener heeds the advice!
A penetrating story of love

This story tells of the pitfalls and problems of married life. It gives insight into a child’s world when divorce is considered as the ultimate answer.
