"I really enjoyed reading this book. Its a little hard to start in to every time but once you get going its hard to stop. It definitely made me appreciate my education and gain more."
"Jesse Stuart tells a fascinating story. From washing outhouses to 'Keep off the Grass' signs, he keeps up the narrative in a wonderful way. He had some incredible experiences, and left me grateful for my education. A fascinating story that definitely deserves to be read."
"I felt a special interest in this because it took place near where my Grandmother grew up. It was also a fun book to read because Catherine Marshall's book Christy left me longing for another rural teacher book, and this one fit the bill...not as well written or exciting, but worth reading."
"Poor students in the backwoods of Kentucky leave a trail of blood in the snow. They have no shoes and their tortured walk to the one-room schoolhouse would test the best of us, but their desire for an education supersedes the pain. This was not so long ago, either. An amazing story of how a dedicated teacher fills the learning hunger in the hearts of these amazing students."
