Review: This Tender Land

This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A masterpiece of a book by William Kent Krueger. This Tender Land is a story about four young children who escape from a terrible experience within a boarding school where they were suffering abuse and neglect. They travelled down the Mississippi River to St. Louis during the Depression and had various trials and tribulations along the way. None of this would have been easy for them but through family and faith, they persevered. This historical references in this book were for events that are largely ignored in our view of history of the USA and for that reason as well as the phenomenal writing, this book should be on the required reading list for our high school or college aged youth in this country. I received this from NetGalley for a review but loved it so much that when Book of the Month offered it, I opted to receive the final copy as well.
Highly recommend.
