Meet the Austins

Rating:
Summary: The Perfect Family
Review: When an orphan named Maggy Hamilton comes to live with the Austin family, their lives are turned upside down. Especially Vicky's, since she feels out of place with the new girl being there. Vicky is upset, because she doesn't sympathize with Maggy's tragic loss. She also feels useless. Like she can't possibly help with anything, when that's far from the truth. But when it begins to look as if Maggy won't be leaving the Austin family anytime soon, Vicky tries to look on the bright side, and pray that happy times are waiting in the future.

This was an excellent book, featuring one of my favorite families, the Austins. Madeleine L'Engle writes with such poetic grace, and makes you feel like you are right there with the Austins, sharing their pain. A must-have book for everyone. Young and old.
