I was traveling through this same area while reading this book. I could see Bertie and how she lived as we traveled through Kansas

Interesting

The very best part was when they got the piano for Trouble.

Some editions of the book have discussion questions included in the back of the book.
I loved the book. I was interested to see where Bertie would end up, what kind of person she would become considering all the adversity she faced in her life.

It was an easy summer read
