I have to give this wonderful little book some love, especially seeing how few reviews there are of it.

I first read this book as a child. It is, after all, a children's book. The story is about Josephine, "Josie" Dexter, a young woman growing up in an extremely troubled household.

This book takes place at the beginning of the women's suffrage movement. For all her life, Josie has been taught not to question, to do as she is told. Still things never seem to go smoothly for her. In this story, Josie meets many people and gradually becomes aware that life does not have to be the way she always thought it did and that she can make her own choices.

I am really shocked by how few reviews there are of this book. It is one of my earliest readings and this book, along with many others, inspired my love of reading. I really hope if someone who has read it and loved it as I did, stumbles across it on Goodreads that they write a review. It's to good a book to be forgotten although I will always remember fondly the story of Josie Dexter. ( )
