Synopsis:
It’s 1962 and a 15-year-old girl is spending the next 4 months in a home for unwed mothers, waiting to give up her baby.
Review:
The Third Floor was an emotional read for me. As a mom my heart went out for Judi and her struggle. I can’t imagine having to give up my child. And then as a mom of daughters I would just hope that if I were ever faced with this situation I would handle it better than Judi’s family did. I really loved this book until the overlong wrap up at the end. Young Judi’s journey was so touching and poignant but I was less engaged by the rest of her life story.
