Trail of Crumbs

Susie Finkbeiner does it again. I read A Cup of Dust and had to find the second in the series and lucky for me, there was one left. Finkbeiner's style of writing is brilliant and touching, and the story is again told by 10 year old Pearl. The hardships she has endured thus far have been more than a child her age should ever have to bear, but she garners her strength from her faith, which she learned from her grandmother, and her parents. She is especially close to her father. Set in Oklahoma, the family has to make some difficult decisions that change their lives. A must read that you will never forget and want to re-read.
