As a mother, a grandmother, and educator of 26 years I can’t imagine what would cause a mother to leave her child, to just walk away. Where the Crawdad’s Sing jerked on my heart strings. I experienced the whole gamut of emotions. I cried; I laughed; I got angry. I was encouraged and inspired by Kya. This story of a young child who has to raise herself and becomes a strong independent and successful woman. It is what each of us hopes we are capable of doing in the worst circumstances.
It is one of my Top 5 favorite books of all time, and at 61, I’ve read a lot of books.
