The Third Secret

I read was A Big Dose of Lucky.  I am not sure why it is called this. Regardless, I liked it a lot and don't feel burned out on the series.  This is such a good idea, a series, written by different authors, each the story of a girl who lived in a orphanage since birth.  When the orphanage burns down, each is given what little information there is about their birth family and set off to find their way in the world.  The girls are all 16 and 17 years old.  There are seven of them.
Each book is set in 1964 in Canada, so far.  That is where the orphanage was. I can't remember what part of Canada.  But in ABDOL, Maulou's clue takes her to Parry Sound, Ontario.  She is the only dark-skinned girl of the seven and the racism that she encounters is horrifying.  I am a total fool, I guess.  I never knew that racism was as blatant in Canada as it was/is in the United States.

Sisters SPOILER

As I have mentioned before, I don't have a sister and can't imagine what a special bond many sisters enjoy.  Would You is a powerful story about sisters who seem to have a normal relationship (good times and bad times, just like real people!) and a story about great loss.  It is also the second book this month that deals with a head injury!  Blah, but this one didn't have the kind of ending that Courage for Beginners did.
Claire is injured in a car accident the summer before she is set to go off to college.  The book is told from the POV of her younger sister, Natalie.   I wonder if Marthe Jocelyn experienced this in her own life, because the emotions here seem so real.
I just realized now that Jocelyn is the author of one of my most favorite books, Same Same! I really want to read What We Hide next.  Very well done and it made me cry.  Books rarely make me cry!
