"I read this book many years ago when I was a pre-teen, probably around 1977 or 78. I kept my copy, which was very old when I obtained it, and re-read it every 10 yrs. or so. It is one of my top 10 favorite books. It is a very loving but not overly idealized story about a family of boys that takes in an orphaned girl, and details her becoming one of the family. A great, feel-good read, I always cry when I am finished because I don't want it to end!"
"Don't let the title fool you. Yes, this is one of the most happy-making books on the planet, but it's also one of the saddest. My mom read this aloud to my four sisters and me, and we were all (besides my miserably hard-hearted youngest) in tears. Then I told the story to my writing class, and had six little girls sniffing. And did I mention it ain't fiction? So, tolle, lege."
