Book Review- When Darla Hit
When I first picked up When Darla Hit I really had no idea what to expect. The store I purchased the book in said it was a local Vermont author, I grew up in Vermont so of course I was interested and it looked like a quick read, which is what I needed at the time. Right from the beggining the author explains that most of the story is true but not the whole book. In the first chapter I was already asking myself is that part true? Did this really happen to this Vermont woman. I read on to read of places familiar to me and situations, and feelings I thought only I had.
The story explains the life of a woman and her struggles and triumphs with location, family, men, and herself. Through-out the book she really expresses her postitive and negative feelings with these issues. Her will-power and strength to make hard times easier is an inspiration for all!
Her style of writing is clear, entertaining and heart felt. As you read along, you can hear the voice of the author as if she is right next to you telling her story. When Darla Hit could be out of any woman’s diary, but her attitude and out look, and they way she explains her experiences made it an original that is only hers, but with lots of room for us all to relate! So if you are a man or woman, from Alaska to Vermont this is a book for you.
