Tell Us We're Home

From time to time I can't find a good book to read so I check up on things that Mrs. Leitsch has read. One that she rated very highly was Tell the Wolves I'm Home. I thought that this seemed like it could be a good book. I went to the library to find it but apparently other people had the same idea because they didn't have it checked in. So I looked around and found Tell Us We're Home and thought, why not try it? (I also hope to read Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore, recommended by Mrs. Leitsch, sometime soon.)

This book is about three immigrant girls whose mothers work as nannies or caretakers for other families in their community. While some may some unlikely acquaintances, I believe (from what I have read so far) they have a lot in common. I think they will have lots of insecurities that they share such as knowing things about the kids their moms watch when the spoiled kids have no idea who they are could easily make for some very awkward moments. I hope to get an interesting story from this book because it seems to have a very good plot line.

The last book I read taught me a lot about Palestinian culture and I hope that this book introduces me to something new. I love getting out of my comfort zone with books like this because I almost always learn something new. I used to never like reading but in the second semester I have began to make time in my schedule to just sit down and read and I have really been enjoying forgetting about my crazy story to read someone else's.
