Summary: My review of "The Baby's Cross"
Review:      I just finished reading, "The Baby's Cross". It was one of those "I can't put it down" types and I really couldn't. The authors life has been touched with such sadness, pain, and tragedy but the story is written so that you feel mostly the joy of overcoming all of it. Children are so resilient and hopeful and those characteristics shine through this whole book. I applaud Gale for being able to make the reader feel so many emotions and she did it without accusing or blaming anyone involved. My husband ,Chester, also read the book and his comment
was,"Masterful".

Summary: A wonderful story and a great read.
Review: The title and the picture on the cover caught my attention and just had to get it. Even though the story is an autobiography, it is the most inspiring story I have ever read. What a different kind of life this author has had than most pople I have known. The story was compelling and keeps your interest right to the end, it is a must for everyone that enjoys a good story. It is hard to believe that anyone could have overcome so many obstacles in her lifetime. I am so happy that Ms. Perkins was able to relive her life in order to write this book, there must have been some painful experiences while doing this. She has a writing style that is easy reading, and you can almost see her living throughout her lifetime. What an amazing person she must be. I intend to get copies for my friends as I know they will enjoy it as much as I did. This is one book I don't want to share, as I know I will want to re-read it from time to time.
