Pictures of Hollis Woods....


This week I was working on some last minute homework... I had to have a book to base some Lesson Plans on... The entire time, I thought I would do the plans on Sarah Plain and Tall... Well, I couldn't find the book so I called my faithful reader friend, Vicky... Thinking she may have Sarah Plain and Tall on hand, I dialed the number... She didn't have it... but... She tells me she has another good one - Pictures of Hollis Woods... So thankful to have a book but a little dismayed to have to start over, I proceeded to begin my homework again... I finished the homework and my mom arrived home with the book in hand... Now it was time to read it...I started that night and was instantly hooked... I had to stop and turn the lights out so my hubby could sleep for the next days work - regretfully... The next morning I was up bright and early to do some Observation hours at the school but I came right back home and sat down to finish the book before my class... I tell you this may be a book aimed at young readers but I LOVED IT! It was a beautiful story of love and acceptance. I encourage everyone to read it! Although many tears flowed throughout the book, my heart was happy at the end... A beautiful story for sure! Thanks Vic for that one! It's now on my list of must haves... and I can't wait to watch the Hallmark movie either! Wonder where we could find it!

I wonder if the Hallmark Cards store might have it? Sometimes they carry several of the Hallmark movies, I thought the book was great too!
