Yes another chance to use this fantastic Anne Murray song. There is a line in Lena that made me think of it right away. "Seemed like someone was always leaving someone, like that's the way the world worked- people were born and people died, people left and people came." Lena is a sequel to I Hadn't Meant to Tell You This. I wish I would have read that first, but I didn't take away any of goodness of reading Lena. It was pretty much just what you would expect from Jacqueline Woodson- beautiful.
This is the story of two young girls, Lena and her sister Dion, who have run away from home because of their abusive father. A story of strength and heart-break and courage. Highly recommended.
