5.0 out of 5 stars A book you will never forget, August 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Kathleen, Please Come Home (Paperback)

I read this book when I was in about the 4th or 5th grade, and let me tell you, this is one book that I will never forget. I am now 18 and the other day I decided I would get on the internet to see what the title of it was. I remember who wrote it but I didnt remember the title. But as soon as I saw "Kathleen, Please Come Home" and instantly remembered it. This book is one that will have a impact on you. Once you start to read it you begin to be the character. You feel all of her emotions and you will never want to put the book down. This was one of the first books I ever read, and I know that it will be my favorite for a lifetime. Read it, and I am sure you will never regret it....
