I'm not going to lie Under the Magnolias by
T.I. Lowe was a hard read not because of the writing but simply because it
dealt with a tough subject. That the author handled with grace.
Though I also lost my mom at a younger age suddenly
I couldn't imagine it happening at 13 and having six younger siblings to care
for as well as a father. At twenty something and having a nineteenth year
sister when it happened but unlike Austin I only had to deal with a dad who
zoned out for a only a few months so I don't know if I would have been able to
hang on as long as Austin did.
I get that Austin's family didn't want people to
know but I still can't believe that the only person who noticed was another
teenager. But Austin's childhood and teenage years made her who she was.
I do recommend that you read this book but have
tissues handy.
