Betsy Blossom Brown is a coming-of-age story about a young girl who journeys from being an observer of life to a participant. Her seemingly idyllic life with her privileged South Carolina family is turned upside down, revealing truths and disarming pretensions. She's independent, opinionated, and brave. Uncertainty enters her life when she and her mother move to the Appalachian region until, through a series of unsettling events; she sheds her uncertainty and learns to embrace life. The graphite illustrations help to understand the depth of Betsy Blossom Brown, as she sketches her way through life recognizing her mild Asperger syndrome, without letting it curb her appetite for life.



Review

Be prepared to become addicted to this story from the very beginning. Jacobs has created a main character who is engaging and unique. The story itself has so many aspects you would not expect. It's heartwarming and inspirational. 

I found the plot to be filled with heart, drama, and much more along the way. 

The writing style was fluid and just fast enough, which I really enjoyed!
