Maid Mary Anne DOES have a ring to it.............. ;-)

Basically this book is about when Mary Anne starts helping a woman named Mrs. Towne, who becomes her friend and then needs help becasue she breaks her ankle. At first Mary Anne is happy to help, but then it gets stressful and unlikeable. And then she questions herself, is she supposed to help Mrs. Towne, or be her Maid?

U will Love this!

This book was awesome! It was about how Mary Anne helped out an ederly neighbor, Mrs. Towne, who later on became her friend. But she only became her friend after they communicated. They had to beceause, unknowingly, Mrs. Towne was taking advantage of poor Mary Anne.At first, I was skeptical about this book. It looked like Mary Anne was so dull she couldn't solve her own problems! But you can't judge a book by its cover, so I read it. Very good and well written. I liked it because Mary Anne really stood up for herself in the end, and that's what communicating is about: making yourself and your point clear to all who hear you. I was glad when Mary Anne realized that whether or not she hurt Mrs. Towne's feelings, she owed it to herself to explain HER feelings. You will like this book if you have trouble sticking up for yourself, or if you just want to read it on a rainy Sunday, like I did. Rainy Sundays are THE best time to catch up on good reading as this.

A perfect book for boring times in the day!

It was very good the way how Mary-Anne tries to help out but ends up doing EVERTHING! I like the way she gets tired of it and tries to relate it to Mrs Towne. (Mrs Towne is the lady that Mary-Anne helps out)
