Title: Troublesome Creek
Product review: This is the story of a sixteen year old girl, Cooper, living in a small village in Kentuky in the 1800s. Her stepmother wants her to become a lady and wishes to send her away in boarding school. Cooper wants to stay home.I had a hard time getting throught the first half of the book. The plot moves back and forth in time, the author concentrating first on Cooper, then her father, then her step-mother, back on Cooper, her childhood friend etc. All of this felt confusing and kept me from being interested in Cooper's story. It didn't help that all the characters act like if they're angels. No one makes mistakes, gets angry, drunk, uncharitable or even says anything stupid. They did not feel real to me. People are not perfect. Only God is.Respectfully, I found that the christian content overwhelmed the plot. I especially didn't care for (what felt like) pages after pages of sermon. This may be a big turn-off for some readers.
