I agree, though, that the beauty of the book is the love Brodie feels for her daughter and her willingness to try something she never imagined in order to do what's best for her. And she is an amazing writer!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-77415829444707425842010-04-13T17:29:45.414-04:002010-04-13T17:29:45.414-04:00I have a copy of this book and I'm really exci...I have a copy of this book and I'm really excited for it, thanks for the great review!Jen (Devourer of Books)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12749409263374016356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-24110942030997997962010-04-12T16:21:46.633-04:002010-04-12T16:21:46.633-04:00Excellent review.

I don't think homeschooling is in the cards for my family, but with the continued crumbling of our education system, who knows?<br /><br />I'm really interested in reading this book, and I'm glad you brought it to my attention.

There are always worksheets and parent conference nights, etc. that you have to work on at the end of the day when everyone's crabby and tired. With homeschooling, if you're organized, you can get all that done toward the beginning of the day when you have more energy. :)Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7008131509611971593.post-80918797591402138452010-04-12T09:10:04.487-04:002010-04-12T09:10:04.487-04:00Thanks for putting this book on my radar.

It was her 7th and 8th grade years and we had a lot of reasons for trying it. In any case, I think it helped her with her life and schooling from that point on and I know that it was the time she figured out what she wanted to do with her life (she's a nurse). Very nice review and don't sell yourself short. I never thought I would homeschool and I did. If the situation warranted it, you would likely be able to do it too. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
