Emmie Of Indianapolis by Kay Castaneda.
This is a coming of age story set in the 1960s with a narrative by Emmie a 12 year old girl whose life changed with a single sentence she heard from her parents. “Divorce”.
Emmie is plunged into change and separation from her father and childhood neighborhood as her mother moves them to a new place for a fresh start.
Emmie is faced with the responsibility of raising her siblings as her mom takes on a night job and spirals out of control due to bad influences and Alcohol.
Emmie is forced to grow up quickly as more and more of the responsibility for her younger siblings fall to her to handle or take care of.
In the midst all these things that battle to take away her innocence and childhood, she finds friendship in the unlikeliest of places.
This book also has undertones of spirituality in it.
It was a good read and I encourage everyone who loves to read to give it a try.

Hello guys!
Third Culture Wife here. My blog has metamorphosis-ed since I started in 2012, so has my about me page. It started as a space to share my views, school antics, poetry, crafts and all. Then I started Blogging about long distance relationships as I was in one (both dating and marriage). Thank God we closed the distance on the 22nd of August 2018 and we are now together for the first time in a long time.
So I invite you to come with me on this adventure as I blog about my new home, finding affordable ways to make homemade meals (recipes), book reviews from books I buy or receive for free from Authors in exchange for an honest review and just generally the amazing adventure that is living and making each day count. I hope you stick with me as I journey through all that life is and share them on my blog, looking forward to connecting with you.
