Helpful Score: 2
I saw this book and bought it on a whim. After all, I had just placed my two daughters in elementary school for the first time, after homeschooling them for the previous 4 years. My husband and I agreed that I needed a "sabbatical" after a particularly challenging year as a military family. I found myself drawn to this couple's story and was truly encouraged. Although we don't share the same religious background, I was strengthened by their strong values and practical advice. The tone is so friendly and the homeschooling approach so outside the classroom that it truly expanded my vision for what our home could be.
I have read several excellent treatises for homeschooling and classical home-education in particular, but I will always return to this book for the same strength and encouragment I first received. I highly recommend it as a fascinating and uplifting read.

Inspiring memoir of one family's homeschooling experience.
