Summary: A Great story about acceptance and change!
Comment: Jolene Jasmine Johnson's father died when she was just a baby leaving her to be raised by her mother, Ruby, and Grandpa Foster. Now, she felt she was losing another parent, her mom. She wasn't losing her to death, but in marriage to the loudiest, sweatiest logger in town, Leroy Redfield! To avoid getting to know him, Jolene decided not to call him Mr. Redfield or Leroy as he suggested. Instead, she chose to simply call him . . . Mister. Despite all the attention, candy, and gifts he bestowed upon her, Jolene refuses to accept him. In fact, she takes a special gift intended for her and Ruby (given to her by Mister for safe-keeping) and destroys it. She soon realizes that in her attempt to hurt and reject Mister, she hurts the one person she loves most, her mom. Just as Jolene discovers a wonderful way to gain her mother's forgiveness, she also discovers that maybe having Mister in her life is not so bad after all. Kimberly Holt does an excellent job writing a story that centers around the frustrations and insecurities children sometimes feel when their parents contemplate remarriage. This is a great read for all ages!

Summary: A Tender Story of Loss and Found
Comment: Kimberly Willis Holt has crafted a heartwarming story of Jolene Jasmine Johnson who has to face some big changes. Used to life with only her mother and grandfather, Jolene is disturbed when Leroy Redfield begins to find a place in the family. The story turns on the age old childhood dilemma, where do you turn when you think you have done the unforgivable? As Jolene faces the anger and confusion caused by her momma developing a relationship with Leroy, she strikes out without thinking. The resolution of this act is a tender story of finding that the heart can stretch to hold room for more than one person and the power of forgiveness. A wonderful story for any age.
