Leaving Gees Bend, by Irene Latham

This book is about a girl named Ludelphia Bennett who is blind in one eye. The story takes place in Alabama in 1932. She has to go get help after her mother gets sick from having a baby. She has to walk a long way with no shoes.

Ludelphia goes and gets Etta Mae to help, but everyone thought Etta Mae was a witch and made Ludelphia's mother sick.

My favorite part is when Ludelphia and Etta Mae scare off Mrs. Cobb, who is a mean lady.

Other parts I like are when Ludelphia has to start her quilt over again because her story is different. Every quilt tells a story.

My favorite character is Rose, the baby. Ludelphia named Rose.

I give this book :) :) :) :) :) (5 out of 5 happy faces). I recommend this book for people who like brave girls.
