The Little Giant of Aberdeen County


I finished my book, The Little Giant of Aberdeen County. I picked this book up on a whim at the library and really enjoyed it. It is a story set in a small town in the 50's or 60's told by a woman named Truly. Truly and her sister could not be any different. She is large, the sister is small. Truly is made fun of, the sister is loved. They are separated when their father dies leaving them with no family.

As they live separate lives, their lives become intertwined again when tragedy strikes. There is also an element of witchcraft to the book. I kept picturing that movie with Sandra Bullock, Practical Magic.

If you want a heartfelt book that follows the life of an underdog, this is for you. I recommend it!
