I'm putting the other two boo...Amy -- Love it! I'm putting the other two books on my list for about a month from now when I get to read what *I* want again!<br /><br />Patti -- Oh, you are so sweet! But yes, I did really battle through the beginning of the book. I think it is a time of year thing. I get way more upset about child rape stories around February... and I was scared to go there.<br /><br />As for St. Paul, what didn't make my final review is that about the same time that Sylvia was in a Catholic home for unwed mothers in St. Paul, my father and a couple of his cousins were in a Catholic "home" for polio victims across the river in Minneapolis. It just hit me as I was reading that some of these nuns could have "known" the nuns caring for my dad... I mean, I know your nuns are fictional and all... I guess I've never thought a lot about the people who were actually caring for them there. Your story made me do that.<br /><br />Anyway, so the wanting longer in St. Paul is totally personal, I actually thought for the STORY that it was just about right.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416139988162419457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-33257462093982298542011-01-27T07:18:34.302-07:002011-01-27T07:18:34.302-07:00Debra, girl, you battled this book, didn't you...Debra, girl, you battled this book, didn't you:)<br /><br />Thank you for investing your valuable time and emotions in the story.<br /><br />Sandy Sperazza, the real-life Sylvia, also struggled reading "her" story because she said it brought back painful memories.<br /><br />I LOVE your comment about St. Paul--an early crit. reader said the Home part was TOO LONG:)<br /><br />Ah. The yin-yang of a writer's life.<br /><br />Blessings to you,<br />PattiPatti Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00687666130404407814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-53873677645881723.post-46058186978670030782011-01-26T17:55:34.444-07:002011-01-26T17:55:34.444-07:00Me too!
