<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Pearl Spence has finally settled into a routine in Bliss, Michigan, far from her home in Red River, Oklahoma. Like all the other kids, she goes to school each day, plays in the woods, and does her chores. But there's one big difference: Mama is still gone, and doesn't seem to have a thought for the family she's left behind. Escaping from her worries is another part of Pearl's new routine, whether that's running to Aunt Carrie's farm, listening to the radio with Ray, or losing herself in a book. In fact, a chair in the stacks, surrounded by books, might be her favorite place on earth--until she discovers swing dancing. The music transports Pearl to a whole other world. When Mama unexpectedly returns, it isn't the happy occasion Pearl had imagined. Mama is distant and Pearl can't figure out how to please her. And the horrible way she treats Daddy is more than Pearl can bear. Seems life would be better if Mama would just stay away" -Amazon.com.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Susie Finkbeiner never fails to transport her readers through time and space, welcoming us into worlds we never want to leave.</b>--<i>Julie Cantrell, New York Times best-selling author of Into the Free</i> <p/>Pearl Spence has finally settled into a routine in Bliss, Michigan, far from her home in Red River, Oklahoma.

The books are <b>gritty and haunting</b> as Finkbeiner courageously and vividly portrays the struggle of one family to find hope in the midst of devastation. When you find yourself wanting to pray for a fictional character, you know the author has done her job well.--Sharon Garlough Brown, author of the Sensible Shoes series (7/5/2017 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>Susie Finkbeiner never fails to transport her readers through time and space, welcoming us into <b>worlds we never want to leave</b>. She is a master at drawing characters we begin to love and keeping us turning the pages as we share their emotional journeys with them.--Julie Cantrell, <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author of <i>Into the Free</i> (7/5/2017 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>When you open a Pearl Spence novel, don't expect to simply read it. Expect to live the tale. Through the eyes and voice of the incomparable Pearl, we experience three distinct chapters of the American story. In each one, author Susie Finkbeiner evokes a mood, an ambience, a tide of emotions just below the surface of the printed page. <b>Every novel as poignant and compelling as the last</b>, these rich stories are gifts to be savored time and again.--Jocelyn Green, award-winning author of <i>The Mark of the King</i> (7/5/2017 12:00:00 AM)<br>
