I don’t normally read a whole book written in verse, but this is an amazing book. Atkins takes the lives of Laura Ingalls Wilder, Madam C.J. Walker, Marie Curie and their daughters and fits it into three different biographical stories. All three women were born in 1867. All three had remarkable lives and their daughters did as well. I don’t think that I would even imagine that there was a connection between these women, but Atkins makes one along with this unique book. There is a timeline and a selected bibliography in the end.
This list represents titles that the staff at Clinton-Macomb Public Library has read. The reviews associated with each title are the independent views of individual staff members and do not represent the organization as a whole.
