Girl from the Home

Rating:
Summary: A NEW STAR ON THE HORIZON
Review: A GIRL FROM THE HOME is a remarkable memoir which tells the story of a precocious seven year old who, against all convention, preferred the orphanage to the several foster homes she was sent to. It is also remarkable for how the now mature author manages to maintain the voice of her childhood experience throughout the narrative.

This was a child wise beyond her years with a mind of her own and a strong will that would not accept anything that was thrust at her unless she was able to think it through and found it intelligible. The opening chapter is a humdinger and is followed by one memorable scene after another. This is a book to warm the hearts of all readers, men and women, as well as children.

Review: This book was very special to me.Muriel and I were considered "sisters" as we lived in the 'Brooklyn Hebrew Orphan Asylum".She writes through the mind of achild.Her style is most engaging.She illustrates so intmately her harrowing experiencs in foster homes and the joys of the orphan home.Because I was a fellow inmate I can attest to the TRUTH of her narritive. It's a "Can't put it down book".Her tale is quite dramatic and VERY unusual.I opine this is a MUST read book.Esther Gerber
