Title: Strawberry Field - Excellent
Review: I loved this book. It is a marvelously written novel about one little girl's triumphant victory over the harshest of childhood misfortunes including abuse, abandonment, and poverty. It is told mostly in flashback through the eyes of the family court judge who lived and survived these ordeals, and is now an instrument in the lives of other neglected, abandoned children. It is a compelling and fascinating story, but it is not a downer. It is an uplifting story of optimism and self-reliance, told with such clarity of language, the reader feels every emotion experienced by the characters, so beautifully drawn, they leap off the pages. The spunk and spirit of the main character alone, makes you pull for her every step of the way. I highly recommend this novel.
