I really enjoyed this book placed in the 50's, which I can totally relate to and love hearing about in books. I enjoyed the family here and the tale was told by Bertha and her sister Flossie. As the book continues the everyday life of this family is terribly abrupted as a townsperson claims the father of Bertha and Flossie is a member of the Communist party.
Bertha is enthralled with baseball and playing with the neighbor boys. She dreams of playing on a minor league women's baseball team. But will she have the opportunity to make her dream come true?
This book was so true to this period of time in history and the fear people were experiencing. Loved the book, the author's writing style and the history this reminded me about. I will definitely be reading more from the author.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts are my own.
