Stealing Mr. Smith
“Stealing Mr. Smith” by Tanya E. Williams takes us back in time to the early 1940’s. It is a well researched story about what life was like for one young girl and her family in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. This life is best described in the line, “Desperate times is all we’ve ever known.” We meet Bernice Rosin in the midst of a childhood that is immersed in poverty, trauma, and abandonment. Ms. Williams weaves a masterful tale of the circumstances and events that influence Bernice throughout her young life and we get to see how these circumstances and events play a role in the choices and decisions that she makes as she enters adulthood. The author take us through a full range of emotions as we get to know Bernice better. I went from feeling sorry for her, to being hopeful for her future, then angry that she could be so foolish and finally shocked at how manipulative she could be. When Bernice meets John Smith the emotional roller coaster continues. You will not want to put this book down as you follow Bernice on her journey and you will be left anticipating the next installment.
