A review by lisanewsphoto
The Practice House by Laura McNeal

1.0

The first part of this book was interesting, learning about life in the dust bowl. But then I found myself wondering what Aldine saw in Ansel. I found him to be a very selfish and weak man. He didn't tell Aldine that the school board couldn't pay her and didn't send her home even though that would have been best for her. And he refused to leave Kansas despite the face that his children were going hungry and he had a place to go in California. Later he didn't tell her he had TB and was fine with putting her health in jeopardy.

The book sort of dragged on after that only getting interesting in the last few pages.
