Book Review of A Girl Named Sooner

A Girl Named Sooner
reviewed on + 61 more book reviews


Sooner was only nine...with a runny nose, and raggedy clothes, and a harsh, brutal childhood spent with an embittered, bootlegging, Bible quoting old woman. Sooner's only warmth and companionship came from her woodland animal friends, a redwing blackbird and a little chipmunk.
But then Sooner bgan a new life with Mac, a warm, giving veterinarian, and his wife Elizabeth --who was unable to have any children...and feared that she couldnt love at all.
This is the heartwarming story of these three human beings, who together found a new fullfillment in the act of giving...and a new understanding of what it is to love.
