In 1962 Virginia, with the world teetering on the brink, a schoolteacher searches for strength and hope in this moving tale by the New York Times bestselling author of Sold on a Monday.

Poppy Turner has spent more than a decade teaching children grammar and arithmetic. Suddenly her days are steeped in fears that reach well beyond a classroom filled with air-raid drills and anxious young faces. As a mother-to-be, she worries about bringing a child into a time of such turmoil. To find stability, she will have to decide if she’s willing to look more closely at her own past.

Kristina McMorris’s Poppy’s Story is part of Good Intentions, a riveting collection of stories about the instincts, fears, and fierce love inherent in motherhood from award-winning, bestselling authors. Read or listen to each in a single sitting.


Kristina McMorris is the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author of the million-copy bestseller Sold on a Monday. The recipient of more than twenty national literary awards, she previously hosted weekly TV shows, beginning with an Emmy Award–winning program at age nine.


My review for book 1 in this series

My review for Letters From Home


REVIEW:
I have only read one book by this author and although it wasn't mind-blowing, I remember the writing was solid. As was this story, and I think I liked it better. This was a somber story in a way. An adopted child now an adult wanting to know why the mother gave them up. Not really finding out, but learning so much more made this story a good one. It was pretty deep. Maybe it was how I was able to connect in a way to it. Not through adoption but the abandonment issues. That I get. I see it from both sides, having those same issues with my own daughter. This little story gave me hope that at least one of us can heal.


5/5

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
