Thank goodness for this book. I am loving it. The connection between the mother and James. The heartbreaking yet can't stop reading stories and trials. I can't get enough of it. I love all of it.
One thing becoming more and more evident is the mother and son's stories are very much different. We continue to see his story as the book goes on and learn more and more about his present life while we also see how the mother lived in her past. She grew up well, he isn't.
We also see the religious side of the family as a whole. In chapter six, the first sentence reads "Mommy loved God." Continiuing to read, we find that religion was quite important in their house hold. They learn the stories and tell them to family members. They go to church. And we see that the mother is always reminding them to go to church. I find that very important in a household.
As the book goes on we learn more and more about the family and venture to see how they live differently than the others in their environment. As the book goes on, I look forward to learning and reading about new things with the family. It seems that although my lifestyle is none like theirs', I still find myself connecting with the characters and getting into the book. I think that makes me enjoy the book even more than I already do.
