This is a story about growing up in the unique city of Salem, Massachusetts. It is one girl’s journey through challenges, failures, and triumphs. This excursion leads her across the ocean and back in search of her own strength. Along the way, she is encouraged by two unexpected forces: her desire to succeed and an entity only she can see.
This book brought me into it's own world , from the introduction. The style of writing is eloquent and gripping at the same time. Growing up in a neighboring City brings a familiarity to it all. It becomes REAL. From the moment I picked it up, I did not want to put it down . I absolutely loved it. Following a girls journey through growing up in Salem, Mass in the 60's, is magic in it's own right. Salem is my most favorite place in the world . I lived there until age five years old and my children were born there. I cannot wait until Debra Highberger writes her next book. For now, my " signed" copy sits in a special place in my home!
I enjoyed the read and following the main character through her lifelong journey. I appreciated that a good portion of the setting was in my hometown of Salem, MA so,I could relate very well.
