This has become one of my favorite books ever! Lynne captures your heart and your mind with simply written phrases. She's the ultimate writer, none of her words are wasted, and she draws you in with her vivid story telling. Her gift is using words with great skill and economy, all the while leaving vividly painted pictures of those people and places that graced her life. I find her to be a graceful, poignant writer, an American Treasure.

Ms Cox has done a GREAT job telling her story of a preacher's daughter. She *made* me feel the joy, sadness, happiness, and disappointments of life. It takes a very unique author to perform this type of writing. Ms. Cox did that! Once I started reading the book, I could not put it down until I had finished it. I'm recommending it to all my friends!!

Lynne Cox shares events from her personal diary, kept as a child. The sweet perspective she has on life is fresh, funny, and at times heartwrenching. You laugh and cry with young Lynna-Girl as she deals with the challenges of life in the '40's and as she learns to be a Preacher's Daughter. Easy to read - you just can't put it down. I would recommend this book to young and old.

This is the story of a family written from the diary of the author and her childhood remembrances. Lynne has a true ability to put us into the part and make us remember the little things from
childhood--such as lime popsicles and hurt feelings because of no compliment when wearing that special yellow blouse.

The lines are centered, which makes it easier reading, but it is not poetry.
