So her mom gets her picture taken the next day. When they got there it was night, so the next day the photographer comes over. Amy and her three sisters Meg, Jo, and Beth got their picture for free. Find out if their dad goes to war by reading this book Amy's Story.
One of the characters reminded me of my cousin Samantha Kate, because she was just dying to buy a camera for a reunion with family. I've read lots of different books but nothing like this one. Its real life events made it not the same as other books. Amy's Story kind of retells my life because almost everything in it is like my life. I absolutely love this book.
I recommend this book because the author did a wonderful job of telling the story. I think people who like reading Little Women books or family books should read this book, especially if they need encouragement to share love, and care about family.
