This is a great story! I had a copy of this that I loaned to someone and never got it back. Had looked for another copy for me as I would read it at least once a year. This one is an even better book than the one I loaned out. So glad I bought this! Maybe, because I'm 84, I could relate to the 2 old women in this story. Gives me courage to never give up! Also Interesting historically about how people lived in the past! I would recommend this book to everyone!

Wonderful story of strength and courage. A lesson in it for all of us about the value of the elderly.
