REVIEW by VICKIE:
Heart Sister - Michael F. Stewart This is a well-written story. There is a lot to learn from this tragedy with Minnie. It was a little difficult for me to read some of this story because I could relate too closely to many of the situations in it. The characters are all well-developed an I felt all of their emotions well. Emmitt is an amazing character. He tried hard to make things better for everyone and in the process of all of it he learned a lot. The story flows well from chapter to chapter and is easy to follow along. The cover and title of the book are a good fit for the story. I give this story a literary rating of 5/5 ![]()
