This was a good book but was too slow in some parts and I didn‘t love how the main character never seemed to learn.

This was a good book but was too slow in some parts and I didn‘t love how the main character never seemed to learn.
so-soI felt this story could have been told more succinctly, but I guess she wanted to keep it close till the end. It did have the flavor of To Kill a Mockingbird. Lu Brant, a fairly recently elected State‘s Attorney comes across a murder case that brings up the past and 2 different cases that affected her family when he father was in office. The final answers will throw Lu off.
so-soMcBride‘s writing, characters, and atmosphere are second to none. This was packed with symbolism which went right over my head and if there was a plot, I don‘t have even a nodding acquaintance with it.
“They didn‘t have enough room in their little house to put the big flag together. “
A teacher could use this book to introduce the history of the flag, and the symbolism within. Students could design their own flags after reading the story and discuss the symbolism behind their flags.
pickWeek 9: Historical Fiction! Amazing story about flags and the makers. This story has many clues that pertain to the timing of this story. The illustrations are bright and beautiful, really matching the story. Published: 1988.
As many know I live in Asheville NC. I have been incredibly lucky, my apartment only took very light wind damage and I live in an area that didn‘t flood. My workplace was under water to the ceiling, no idea when we‘ll get the shop operational again. But I am safe, my power is back but I have no water. FEMA distribution started today, so I have bottled water and I have plenty of food. So many are much worse off than I am. Please keep NC in your⬇️
