Second, the characters....boy the father does sound like a bad apple and the mother has a few issues, but the girls are a fun mix.

Great review....thanks for sharing! ^_^Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067420839553243250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8851150662030229037.post-31553257687792654622011-03-28T21:02:53.558-07:002011-03-28T21:02:53.558-07:00So the question is: my book club read The Poisonwo...So the question is: my book club read The Poisonwood Bible last year.
