The Sisterhood of Blackberry Corner.
Andrea Smith
The Sisterhood of Blackberry corner begins when the main characters husband finds a dead baby in the creek near their home. This starts ___ to wondering what would make a person do such a thing- abandon or kill their baby and more importantly is there something that could be done to prevent it. This leads her to decide that she will be that prevention. The last hope a woman has. The book weaves between “the present” (the 80’s) and the past- when the Sisterhood of Blackberry Corner starts saving the children and now (or rather the late 80’s) when one of those babies comes back looking for their past.
The weaving between the past and the present made this story a bit hard to read in the beginning, which was slow, but one into it- the reader can appreciate the telling of the story. Ms. Smith tells a wonderful, heartbreaking story about the difference between getting what you want and wanting what you get.
