review 1: I didn't remember if I had read it or not when I was a kid, but as soon as I started reading, I had flashes of events that we're going to happen. I read it in a couple of hours because the story was quite compelling; the characters were well developed and Ginny did seem to think like a teenager, especially when she was in love with the pastor. I really disliked her cousins, especially Cousin Mattie, and I was so glad when she finally got rid of them!The only thing I didn't like so much was her relationship (or lack of) with her love interest... they should have had some more moments to themselves, except perhaps that wouldn't have been very realistic for the times. Anyhow, as an adult, I enjoy it, but I'm sure I would have loved it as a teenager, so the rating is based o... moren that!
review 2: I have been looking for this book for over a year. I could not remember the title. I did remember the cover and the story and I knew it was published prior to 1985. The library I had borrowed it from recently went online with their catalog online. It took me a couple hours searching but I finally found it. Now all I have to do is locate a copy and I will read it again. Update: I got the book through interlibrary loan. It was just as good to read this time. I wish it had been a longer story, it was so sweet. I will try to find more books by this author. less
