Like Sisters on the Homefront by Rita Williams-Garcia







Realistic fiction geared towards young adults. Experienced adults could read and enjoy this book also.
Many women could identify with the friendship between streetwise Gayle and pure-hearted Cookie. I wish Gayle had improved her spelling skills. I don't think she could read and write at a third-grade level. She was quick-witted but poorly educated. She had maternal affection and instinct but barely any scholastic inclinations. The ending provides hope.

I waited till adulthood to read this book. It was worth the wait.

rating 5 out of 5 stars
