One tragedy after another! But it still was an interesting look into the first year of marriage of a poor Appalachian couple. Everything that could combine against them does, but in the end there is a teensy glimmer of hope. I don't think the characters in this book are as well-developed as those in These Is My Words, which is a similar story. Except for Julie, the heroine, everyone in this book seems to be a little flat. I didn't finish the book with any sense of connection with Julie, just with the thought "life really stank for her." <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/970395?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
