Oh my goodness, I LOVED this book when I was in middle school. I really, really loved it. It was originally published in 1980 and I was surprised at how not dated this book was. This is not literature - at all - but the love portrayed in this book and the forgiveness were all heartfelt and real. I don't love it now, but I can sure see why I did as a child. This is a sweet and tender book.

My fave book as a child, haven't read it in 20 years or more, so it may not be relevant now.
