The book that I read was Mister and Me by Kimberly Willis Holt. The book is set in the 1860's in Louisianna.

The main characters are Jolene, Mom, and Leroy. Jolene is a little girl who, if she doesn't get her way, has a temper tantrum. Mom is an attractive young woman with long wavy hair. Leroy is a big tall dark man who really eats a lot. He has a good heart and he is always in a good mood.

The setting is in a small town that is always windy and sunny. Most of the activities occur in their small home or outside chopping wood. Sometimes Leroy cooks for them and he is also dating Mom.

The historical time period is the 1860's in the American South.

The central theme of the book is that you can get mad about separation and then you can get ok with it after a while.

The story was a children's book and you have to look through the eyes of an 11-year old girl to understand.

I would not want to recommend this book because it wanders off too much and overdoes the problem with Mom.
