RE: Did you relate to Lucy or Bert?
I really enjoyed Lucy and Bert. Also enjoyed how the author alternated between the two characters with every chapter. Both were good country girls.

RE: Do you think Trula Freed's ...
I found Trula's magic believable and I was drawn to her. As a small only child on a remote farm I experienced telepathic communication with my mother frequently. She would be about to call me in from whatever (sometimes remote) field I was playing in and I would have clearly heard her call, I would come in the house in answer, and she would be somewhat surprised since she had not actually called for me yet. It happened so frequently that we both considered it "normal".
Trula's knowledge of native plants and herbs and their uses is a wonderful gift the likes of which is well documented in our evolution.

RE: Overall, what do you think of All ...
I really enjoyed this coming-of-age story set during World War II. The Trula Freed character was very interesting, as was Lucy's rich aunt, Fanniebelle Hollingston, who exposed the girls to a totally different lifestyle than the one they were used to living on a farm.

RE: Do you agree with Bert's sister...
I think she had changed too much to stay. Her world was so much bigger with all she saw and how much she learned. The mountains will always be important to her, but she wouldn't be happy there.

Did you relate to Lucy or Bert?
Did you prefer one narrator over the other? Did you find yourself relating more easily to Lucy or Bert because of your own experiences or personal characteristics?

RE: Do you agree with Bert's sister...
The mountains will always be part of her but her life with the Brown family has expanded her world beyond the cabin near the mountains she started life in.
