Book Review of A Girl Named Sooner

A Girl Named Sooner
Springer avatar reviewed on + 26 more book reviews


Sooner was only 9..... with a runny nose, & raggedy clothes, & a harsh, brutal childhood spent with an enbittered, bootlegging, Bible-quoting old woman. Sooner's only warmth & companionship came from her woodland animal friends, a rewing blackbird & a little chipmunk. But then Sooner began a new life with Mac, a warm, giving veterinarian, & his wife Liz - who was unable to have any children.... & feared that she couldn't love at all. This book is about 3 people, who together found a new fulfillment in the act of giving... & a new understanding of what it is to love.
