My Review:
Julie is such a beautiful story. I love Julie from the start and admired her strength, courage, learning how to cope, and learning how to make a change. She was determined to do what was right. I was intrigued seeing this era and setting through Julie's eyes. Catherine Marshall did a fabulous job writing such a beautiful and well written book.
I give Julie four stars and recommend it for those who love clean historicals.
I received this book from the publisher, but was not required to write a review. This review is 100% m own honest opinion.
