Not because I had a similar experience, just with the way the author formatted and used language in the book. It opened the world to me of other ways people lived or events and tragedy they lived through. ]]> 2018-07-25 21:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/harritye/dagcs9i8t8vq/wish/271126453 This is Megan B.
