which my father had figured out was right smack in the middle of town. Not on the north side. Not on the south side. Just somewhere in between. “It's the Perfect House,” he said. But perfect or not, it was hard living in between.

Ulasan Pengguna - ms_rowse - LibraryThingLove love love this book. I want to be Mrs. Baker--she is the perfect teacher.
