This book is at once touching and profound. The journey that the main character goes through is one that I believe most people can relate to on one level or another.
The writing is descriptive and detailed without being to over the top, the plot is well played out. Simply a beautiful piece of Literature.

A wonderful children's book about the great Influenza epidemic in the eastern U.S. The story is told from the view point of a young girl caring for her sisters during the First World War.
