mary anne finds out the truth

about her secret childhood at a time when she wasn't old enough to remember anything. At the end she realizes she has a grandmother and visits her. To get the real details on what happened at this visit, read Mary Anne's Book.

Great!

Mary Anne's mother died when she was a baby. And since it makes Mr. Spier too sad to talk about her. Mary Anne hardly knows a thing about her mother. Mary Anne respects her father's feelings. But lately, she has to find out aboutb her mother. So Mary anne does something she knows is wrong. She goes up to the creepy attic in her and Dawn's house for evidence. And there Mary Anne finds something she wishes she never had...

Incredible!

Mary Anne has a secret in her pass and now she is afraid of the future!

Part of how Mary Anne became the incredible person she is...

If you want to meet a truly unforgettable, memorable book character that will forever touch your heart & even change how you think, read this book & meet Mary Anne Spier. Her mom died when she was a baby & her life hasn't been very easy. Yet she faces that with a rare courage & dignity that I admire. She searches the attic to find out more about her mom & discovers her long-lost grandmother! She also finds out a BIG secret that happened between her dad & grandmother that involves her. Even though it upset her terribly, she had the strength & courage to confront it & talk to her dad. It was so touching that she finally got to see her grandmother after all these years & form a bond with her. I liked finding out more about her mom along with her & here we meet Mary Anne's grandmother, Verna Baker. I like Verna too & hope she's in more future books!

I give it a 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reason I give this book a 10 is because it was very while written. In this book Mary Anne finds something about her past that she wishes that she had never laid her eyes on it. I hope you enjoyed this book as much as I did.
