"Anne "Perri" Singleton's world is defined by the security of family, the camaraderie of friends at an exclusive Atlanta girls' school, and an enviable social life. She isn't looking for new friends when Mary Dobbs Dillard arrives from Chicago. Besides, "Dobbs", the passionate and fiercely individualistic daughter of an itinerant minister, is her opposite in every way.
But just as the Great Depression collides disastrously with Perri's well-ordered life, friendship blossoms--a friendship that will be tested by jealousy, betrayal, and family secrets..."
Elizabeth Musser has woven a tale that will enchant readers from the first word all the way to the last. A story so real and touching, it's hard not to shed a tear or let a laugh slip out. Not only is the story gripping and entertaining, but it contains incredible lessons that everyone can learn something from.
The characters are deep and real. It's hard to come across a book such as this that allows you to feel this deeply connected to the characters. Mrs. Musser has created persons that are much like you and I with pain and struggles we can relate to.
The story is one of great depth as well. There is not only real history woven in, but every day struggles, adventures, and even a bit of mystery included in this enchanting tale. A person can't help but fall in love with the style and flow of this book. You'll be turning the pages eagerly long into the early morning hours.
What I admire most in a book is the strength of the writing. Was there passion poured into it? I can definitely say that Mrs. Musser's style is impeccable. She is an incredible storyteller filled with a true writer's spirit.
The Sweetest Thing has quickly made its way to being one of my top favorite books of all time. I can't begin to describe how enthralling it truly is. In fact, I was so impressed with Mrs. Musser's talent, skill and passion for writing that I am going to look up her other books immediately.
I highly recommend this book for people interested in touching tales of faith and perseverance aged 15 and up.
