In today's society we prattle on and on about so-called 'feminist' ideals. Parading the big name change makers as paragons. But in it all we tend to forget about the little people. The women behind the scenes. The ones who effected change by doing and not by shouting. The women who bravely stepped out of the accepted norm, not to change the world at large but rather to help their families in whatever way they could. For these women, many of them wives and mothers, when the going got tough they truly got going. This is the fictional story of one such woman.
I picked up this book partly because of the cute title, Moondrop Miracle, and partly because I really enjoyed one of Jennifer Lamont Leo's previous books, You're The Cream In My Coffee, so much. And this latest book was no disappointment.
I think one of my favorite things about the story was the portrayal of how people all reacted differently to Black Monday and the ensuing problems. One character's spiral into alcoholism and abandonment was sadly all to commonplace in the years following the stock market crash of '29.
Another favorite was seeing the heroine start out as a pretty spoiled kid, who I wasn't even sure I fully liked, watching her mature as life kicked her around, and finally come into her own as changes the lives of those around her. Can I also say just how much I loved Aunt Pearl, she was both a hoot and a fount of wisdom. Someone that I think we all wish we had in our lives.
Moondrop Miracle is a wonderful historical novel. But, it's not what I would strictly call historical romance as that is not the main focus of the story. And surprisingly I actually liked that fact. Jennifer Lamont Leo has done a great job with this book and won't hesitate to read more from her. . .
(I received a copy of this book from the author. All opinions are entirely my own.)
