One of the most influential books that I have read is Laddie by Gene Stratton Porter. It is not an extraordinary story, but the book played an extraordinary part in my childhood. It was an old book that I found by digging through the attic in my grandparents farmhouse. I kept it hidden and would read it over and over when I was at their house. When I was old enough to “borrow” a book from Grandma, I would take Laddie home with me to read. Over time, the book got lost but I never forgot the story or my memories of hiding in the attic reading. Several years ago, my mother searched for a copy and gave it to me for Christmas. It is one of my most treasured books.
** spoiler alert ** It was very good and had a good message. However, I did get somewhat bored when reading, but the end was great. It had the same type of thing going on as in Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. It had a good moral and good story line.
