Book Reviews of Joy in the Morning: A Novel (P.S.)

Book Review: Remember reading it 35 years ago
Summary: 5 Stars

When I saw this on Amazon's new paperback fiction list, I couldn't resist writing a review. I read this over 35 years ago as a Senior in High School. I don't remember much but enough that it left an impact on me. It was well written and realistic about hardship and early marriage. After reading the wonderful "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" which was required of us for summer reading, I couldn't resist picking up this book and was clearly not disappointed. It is a timeless read.

Summary of Joy in the Morning: A Novel (P.S.)

A timeless classic is reborn! From Betty Smith?author of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, one of the most beloved novels of the past century?comes an unsentimental yet radiant and powerfully uplifting tale of young hearts and marriage.

In 1927, in Brooklyn, New York, Carl Brown and Annie McGairy meet and fall in love. Though only eighteen, Annie travels alone halfway across the country to the Midwestern university where Carl is studying law?and there they marry. But their first year together is much more difficult than they anticipated, in a faraway place with little money and few friends. With hardship and poverty weighing heavily upon them, Annie and Carl come to realize that their greatest sources of strength, loyalty and love, will help them make it through.
