I loved reading this series, It brings you back in a time we would never hope to see again. My Grandmother was raised in the 30's. She was always preparing her grandchildren how to grow your own crops, without living on a farm and she cooks meals that would stretch for days at a time. Reading this series brought me back to her stories of worry and the hard work families endured to survive. How making good friends to adopt family members was the best way to look out got your own. This book brought back and placed a picture of life after 1929.

A charming time capsule of what it's like to be an upscale suburban working mother trying to juggle and to convince herself that taking a soul-crushing job at an Amazon-like "literary" start up is not a mistake. I would have given five stars had the book not been peppered with one too many brand names: three years out, this novel will feel dated.

You will find some characters you like and some you don't. The characters continue to dress badly. Not everyone dressed that badly back then!

Found it a bit hard to get through, but brought a whole lot of memories back from those lives and times.

This is a wonderful book which took me back to a more innocent time.  It is a story of women and snatches of their lives.  Everyone in this book reminded me of someone either in my family or family friends.  I was so entranced, when it ended I felt a feeling of loss.

This book was ok. sort of classical. You get to see what it is like to live in the old days and that was pretty cool. I read this as part of writing assignment for my school. It is so, but you learn what it was like back then. Moody had a ruff when her parents separated and her mother gets another man and has more kids by him and she had to work like an adult to help feed the family. It was an interesting story

I read this book and really enjoyed the visual the old photographs gave to the story about a girl who is finding out the truth about her family after being sheltered from it her whole life. I definitely think it gives a look into the world during that time period in history and tells a story about family, grief and hidden family secrets. The author did a fantastic job with Delana's character of a girl who has been sheltered and finally breaking free from childhood into adolescence.

This book took me right back to my high school days.  As one of the unpopular kids in school, the thoughts and emotions of one of the popular girls was quite eye opening.  Make sure you have a tissue when you read it!!!

A beautiful memoir of a time when things were golden -- John was the President, John was the Pope and Dad was the hero of their lives. Then, in one year, 1963, Monica's father falls down dead from a heart-attack and the president is assassinated. From the safety of her small-town life, her world is blown apart and a new lexicon is learned. Nowadays there is a nostalgic look back at the '50s and '60s; to the la-la land of yesteryear. But this story shows some things that were not so rosy. Set in Mexico, Maine a small paper-mill town in New England, a Mexico beginning to be walled off by the devouring industrial corporations swallowing smaller factories. The underbelly of that nostalgia is that we now know how the factories puffed out poisonous steam, acid waste was sluiced down rivers, paint factories higher up washed their waste down the rivers too, massive corporations ate up smaller ones, workers were laid off. But for Monica Wood and her sisters, in the early 1960s, this Mexico was home, her dad was her hero and her mum her stability.  This is a beautiful read of a girl's coming of age in a time when a family, a town, and then a nation mourned the loss of their halcyon days.

This book actually took me back in time through the years of Ema's life. She had a horrible childhood, and all she wanted was to get out of there. She didn't think it was possible until she met Julian. From that point, her life is changed. There's a lot more to it, but everything stems from them meeting one another. I can't really say much more as far as the story goes because I don't want to give away anything, but I found myself loving and hating Ema. She was selfish and so set on getting as far from her origination. Still, her determination and knowing from where she came kind of made me forgive some of her actions. Read it. You'll see.

Reading this book is like slipping back to one's childhood when the long summer days seemed to go on forever and the endless possibilities of life were cut short by the screams of your mother calling you to dinner as the sun slowly fell behind the tall green trees swaying in the gentle warm breezes of an evening in July.  Spend some time with this book and you'll be transported back in time without wasting one of your genie's three wishes.

Finding Me  was an excellent book, at times I had to remind myself that it was a true story it was so horrific. Those girls were so strong and hopefully they will be able to put their lives back together with some sense of normalcy. If they had to live that life for all of those years it certainly was not going to hurt me to read Michelle's story and in telling it maybe it will help her and the other two girls.
