The Pink House


With a name like The Pink House, you would expect a sweet story about a happy, loving family, right? NO, NOT RIGHT!! Norah came to live in what became the pink house, at the age of 7, up to then a coddled, loved, happy child. But then her mother died, her dad left her with his sister, and Norah was now the "poor relation" (or so was thought for many years) that was loved by a very few, hated by others, ignored by most, and grew up quickly in such an environment. What a fascinating story of an incredibly dysfunctional family and how this young lady survived - no, came out a lovely, victorious, happy young lady! I was certainly fascinated! I don't even know if this book is in print anymore - the copy we have is old - but not as old as me - HA!!

Look for it - and enjoy!
