Search - The Lost Mother

This book is set in the Depression and tells of a family through very hard times. It is heartbreaking in parts yet always hopeful that the love of family will win out. Excellent characters that grab your heartstrings from the first page.I highly recommend it.

The author really makes you feel for this family and for the father who is struggling to hold his family together. The story is told by the young boy who is trying to cope with all they are going through and deal with his mother's abandonment. Definitely worth a read.

A story set in the great depression-one family's hardships and toll it takes on them all, especially the children.

One of the best books I've read on broken families. Tender and heartbreaking but well worthwhile.

From the first page you won't be able to put this book down. The family in this book will creep into your heart and you will actually think you know them. You want to help them and you will care what happens to them. The father you will respect and the children that want their mom so badly. The mom who you would just like to slap silly for leaving her children and the friends and not so friendly neighbors make up for a lovely lovely story i could read again and again.

An enjoyable read, a poignant story
