The Bluebird and the Sparrow

The Bluebird and the Sparrow by Janette Oke; Started: June 13, 2010, Finished: June 14th, 2010.

Another good book.  I felt so sorry, from the very start, for the main character, Berta.  The way I could see her anger, bitterness and jealousy, ruining so much of her life, making her miserable and unhappy.

The book follows Berta, the eldest daughter, from the day her little, beautiful, sister is born, and through her growing up, always trying to "one-up" her sister for attention and love.  Following her into adult-hood, where all the negative emotion has locked her away from even her family and their love, and through her finally reaching out to God, and learning to accept herself for who she is, and realizing that she is special as she is.
