I loved this book. Ms. Arnow's words goes right to the bone--this is a tough story, about a woman who packs up her children and follows her husband to Detroit so he can find work in a factory. Depression has a strong hold on the country and they have nothing. Leaving the south for Detroit is heartbreaking. But her will and strong heart, her ability to keep moving forward in order to stay alive and together is unmovable. This is a read that you will think about when you eat your next meal. The power of The Dollmaker is strong when the book ends.
