We enjoyed this book. It was a fun, interesting way to learn that relationships are of paramount importance. My daughter and I loved Polly, Debby’s younger sister. She brought playfulness and a sweetness to the story. I recommend this book!

I appreciated the slight mysterious-ness of the family history in this book, along with the personalities of the characters, especially Polly. It’s great to step back in time and learn about the lifestyles of past generations. The soft references to a romance were very clean. We enjoyed this book very much!

My teenage daughter loved this book and its messages. It’s a really beautiful book, but probably one for kids who are used to more gentle, slow-moving but beautiful literature.

This story seemed sweet, but neither me or my high school daughter could ever make it through the book. The story line dragged too much for us.

I enjoyed the book, also because I have an interest in art like Debbie. Her sister, Polly, was an excellent character to the book and I liked the loving relationship between the sisters. The ending was rather predictable and I wish there was more descriptive writing, but other than that I give this book a definite thumbs up.
