Have you ever wondered how long and painful a trip across the Atlantic, would be? Leaving your home, your customs, your whole life, all left in the waves. In the book, Dreams in a Golden Country by Kathryn Lasky, a girl named Zipporah Feldman, mostly known as Zippy struggles to adjust to the American way of life. Zippy would not even have had to come to America, but in her small town in Russia Jews were being persecuted. Zippy has a father who decided to come to America first, who is becoming more American everyday. Zippy has a mother who refuses to leave her old ways, and two sisters, one named Tovah who is obsessed with politics, and the other, Miriam who falls in love with a Catholic firefighter. Zippy has to start in 1st grade, since she had never gone to an American school before, but she eventually gets to the grade she should be in. Zippy is the only family member who was allowed to go to school. I like this book because you get to see the easy and difficult times in an immigrant girl's life during the 1800's. I recommend this book to someone who like stories in diary entry form.
Life's Roads as a Jewish Girl.......2006-03-08
Life's Roads as a Jewish Girl
Zipporah Feldman (Zippy) comes to America with her Jewish family. They came from Zarichka. This book was the diary of Zipporah. After coming to America they all have found some sort of dream in this new country. What was it about America that makes you like this, having big hopes and dreams. Her beloved sister has gone away with the guy she loves, who is not a Jewish boy. Mama gets mad ands pretends top mourn over her daughter like she is dead. The family has fallen apart. Zippy is sad. Something happened to one of her friends. She wants to fly an airplane like the first two brothers did. Or be an actress. She had dreams to look up to.
I really liked this book. Because it was a diary. It was interesting and I liked it a lot. Because she wrote in it almost all the time, it was like a story of her life. Another good diary book that I enjoyed was The Diary of Patrick Seamus Flaherty. I like diary books because they are like a life story and very interesting. These books are different diary's and people. But both are excellent books to read!

Molly's Review for Dreams in the Golden Country.......2005-05-10
Dreams of the Golden Country
By Kathryn Lasky
(Publication: 1998 by Scholastic Inc.) (188 pages) (Genre: Historical fiction)
In summary the book Dreams in the Golden Country was an extremely good book. The book takes place in New York City, 1903. In the book there is a Yetish Jewish family and they live in Russia. The dad of the Feldman family immigrated into the United to States to earn money and buy a place for the family when they came. He worked in a sweatshop factory and had bought an apartment that was shared with an elderly border. When the family immigrated over months later they found that the "papa" they knew and loved had changed. He had cut off this side locks, stopped playing the violin, and did not celebrate any Jewish holidays anymore. Sara, the mom was very upset along with the three children, Zipporah, the youngest, Miriam, the middle child and Tovah the oldest. They were not all impressed with the small unlit apartment either but they had to deal with. As the book went on Zipporah who is keeping the journal is going through school and working hard to learn English along with the rest of the family. The times are pretty smooth until they start to fall apart when Miriam runs away and gets married to a non Jew and the family pretends she's dead. Then more problems come as mama is pregnant and a close friend dies. Times eventually get smooth again and the family resolves their problems and starts their "real" life in America.
I was attracted to this book by the part of the title "Golden Country" it made me wonder what the author was talking about, also the fact that is was a diary.
The main character of the book is Zipporah who is the writer of the journal. Her two friends Blu and Yitzy are immigrant also that have been in America longer than Zippy and her family. The Feldman family, papa, mama, Tovah, and Miriam. The conflict in the book is how the family has to manage being in a new country and not knowing the language there.
My opinion about this book is that the author made a real situation interesting. She made it seem like you were in the book. Very descriptive and hard to put down. I believe the author achieved the purpose of writing this book. The book was powerful, strong, and good and I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a truly amazing story. I would rate this book as a pretty easy read.
The lesson that is taught in this book is that even though life's journey is the most difficult ride you'll ever be on you have to be yourself and stay true to your friends, family and the true you. You also need to appreciate what you have and not take anything for granted.

The Old Woman Who Named Things
ASIN: 0374400105
Release Date: 2006-08-08 |
Amazon.com
From the creators of the Caldecott Honor book The Gardener comes a handsome story about a young Amish girl's first visit to a big city. Each night Hannah writes to a "silent friend" (her journal) about the thrilling sights in Chicago: "If I stacked our home, the barn, and my one-room schoolhouse on top of each other, they wouldn't even reach the fourth floor of one of those huge skyscrapers! The city has more of everything. More buildings. More cars and buses. More people--all kinds of people--with almost all the colors of a quilt in their different clothes and faces." Her exuberance is tempered only by her homesickness, which is beautifully portrayed in illustrator David Small's pictures of Hannah's rural home, alternating with the exciting, strangely parallel depictions of city life. In the illustration for the above journal entry, for example, readers see the gridwork of city streets, with blocky skyscrapers in the background. On the next two-page wordless spread, Small reveals a view through Hannah's mind's eye of the women of her community working together on a similarly gridlike patchwork quilt. Hannah is an appealing guide to the city; readers will be mesmerized by her unique perspectives. (Ages 6 to 10) --Emilie Coulter

Dear Diary
The luckiest girl on this good earth is writing to you tonight -- my birthday -- made perfect a few minutes ago by the present of a lace handkerchief. Mother had even hidden a tiny cake in her suitcase! I've never been higher than Aunt Clara's porch, or farther than Yooder's General Store, but this week my dream is coming true. I'm finally in a big city! And more, I've escaped the farm and chores! After spending the morning quietly in our room, Mother, her friend Maggie, and I went to the top of one of the tallest buildings in the world. How can I ever thank Aunt Clara for giving me her place on this trip? Well, I'm sure to find a gift for her by the end of the week. But for now, perhaps I'll dream of Aunt Clara and home.
Until tomorrow,
my silent friend,
good night.
Hannah
Beginning in the dark hours of morning, an Amish girl, along with two adult companions, sets off for the big city for the first time. The reader receives nightly reports through young Hannah's diary, in which, with tireless awe, she relates the significant events of the day. Each experience is decidedly new to Hannah -- a trip to the top of a skyscraper, a visit to the aquarium -- yet in each she finds some universal element that reminds her of home. Though she loves the city, a trip to the art museum on the final day of her visit clinches Hannah's longing for family and familiarity; fortunately, the bus is ready to take her back to the place she loves most.
Sarah Stewart's text has the authentic ring of a smart girl's private thoughts, and David Small's pictures are magnificent.
Customer Reviews:
** TAKE A CROSS-CULTURAL TRIP WITH HANNAH **.......2004-10-12
Taking *The Journey* is like stepping out of a Time Machine as a northern Indiana Amish child is transported into the 21st century in Chicago. The team of Sarah Stewart and David Small produced this winner in 2001 and it's my opinion that only *The Friend* (see mcHAIKU's review dated October 3, 2004) has it 'bested'.
As Hannah becomes a time-traveler between two very different cultures, her level of excitement rises to test her well-schooled mannerliness. She is awe-struck and makes her discoveries seem new to us as we read over her shoulder the words written in her diary: "going down the street is like making a journey across the whole world. I feel like happiness has rushed up and grabbed me ..... "
There are only two small disappointments for me: I wish there were a situation in which Hannah was juxtaposed with a young city girl - - perhaps in that not-to-be-missed Chicago River boat ride - - somehow sharing an adventure which might suggest kinship despite their obvious differences. And, having recently written a review of *Berghoff's* ("The Berghoff Restaurant" of Chicago) I wish Hannah & her mother & friend had walked to that 100+ year old establishment to have a German meal - - where another comparison could be drawn. For me, the small black & white sketches of Hannah have a special appeal. Her facial expressions declare that she is a story-teller herself, and David Small makes obvious why he was selected by Caldecott judges.
This book is a delight to share, and can be a conversation-starter among children raised so differently from those of the Amish faith - - they may question how Hannah could be so eager to return home to the chores she has escaped for a week, and to a culture with gender-segregated religious services, and outhouses, and riding in an oh-so-slow buggy. When picture-book-age children aren't close by I reach out to adults or eleven-year olds & share the sweetness and strength of these words quietly enhanced by the dark blues of early morning and the jubilant sunrise. I will look for my favorite Monet-like haystacks the next time we travel north, too!
REVIEWER mcHAIKU is content that "the simple life" makes room for a love of books and hopes that Sarah Stewart & David Small continue their story-telling for many years.
Seeing life through new eyes.......2001-05-08
Hannah has traveled with her mother and her mother's friend Maggie to the city. For an Amish girl from a small community, the city is big and full of strange and wonderful things. They go to the top of hig buildings, to marvelous stores, to big parks, the aquarium, the atr museum,on a boat ride and into a grand church. While Hannah is enchanted and enthralled by all the new sites, each new site reminds her of things at home she loves. Written as diary entries by Hannah during her adventures, this book manages to capture the wonder of a young girl in a new enviroment, and her thankfulness for the simple ways at home. Once again Sarah Stewart has crafted a wonderful storyline and David Small has turned what is in the mind's eye into enchanting illustrations. A wonderful book to read aloud, and to be enjoyed by all ages.
Wonderful............2001-04-02
"Dear Diary, The luckiest girl on this good earth is writing to you tonight..." So begins The Journey, Sarah Stewart's lovely story of Hannah, an Amish girl on her first trip to Chicago. Each night, before she falls asleep, Hannah writes about her day and marvels at all the wonders of the big city, the fancy department store with it's frilly dresses, the aquarium and public library, the enormous cathedral with its loud choir, the cars and hundreds of people rushing here and there... And each makes her remember and appreciate something from her simple life at home, trying on a homespun dress, fishing in the pond, praying silently in the small wooden church, quilting with the ladies from other farms... David Small's expressive and detailed artwork take readers from the busy, brightly colored streets of Chicago, to the quiet, softer and subdued life of Hannah's Amish farm. Together, this award winning duo of Stewart and Small have authored a gentle, understated picture book, perfect for youngsters 6-10, that is sure to become a treasured classic in the years ahead.

Written By Romance book Author Amanda Clark!.......2005-06-09
This is a good Harlequin romance book about a country boy a and a city girl but be aware that this page has the author mistakenly identified as Mary Higgins Clark when it not her but a romance book author named Amanda Clark. I could be wrong but I seriously doubt that famous mystery writter Mary Higgins Clark as ever penned a Harlequin romance book and I think that Mary Higgins Clark and Amanda Clark are not the same author but two intirely different authors!
Sweet Story!.......2001-12-30
this was a very good book that I really enjoyed reading, it is a simple down to earth romance story about a lady from a big city named Hannah Chase who goes to the country and meets a guy named Jake McCabe, it is a sweet little romance book that brings a smile to your face while reading it and I could definitely read it again!

Book Description
Ronnie Hawthorn has found peace at last in the Missouri Ozarks town of Green Springs, excited at the prospect of running her own arts-and-crafts store in an old farm house. But when "city girl" Ronnie trips and falls into her handsome neighbor's arms, she is surprised to discover that "country boy" Dave Darden is one of the most eligible bachelors in America.
An earthquake, rumbling deep inside a cavern, brings the two together--but will Dave's meddling in Ronnie's business activities only drive them apart?
Customer Reviews:
Nice, light romance, perfect for a day on the couch.......2005-01-18
"Country Boy, City Girl" is one of those light romances that beg to be read curled up in a corner of the sofa with a pot of tea. Which I did, only in this case, I had iced tea.
The city girl is petite and widowed Veronica "Ronnie" Hawthorn from St. Louis. She has come to Green Springs Farm in Missouri with her six-year old daughter Natalie to set up shop in the old Darden's General Store. Ronnie is a clay artist determined to make a life and business in the country for her and her daughter.
The country boy is David M. Darden, CEO and President of one of the biggest discount department stores in the country. He's 6'4" tall with strawberry blonde hair and just happens to own Darden's General Store which his Aunt Edna has leased to Ronnie.
A simple game that Natalie has of sneaking up on Ronnie is the set up to the surprise first meeting of our two main characters. Ronnie hears stealthy steps and decides to catch Nat first, and when she whirls and plants a kiss, it's on none other than Dave Darden.
When Ronnie finds out that this is THE Dave Darden, she is mortified and determined to keep her distance. After all, this is the man seen in the tabloids on the arm of flashy country singer, Tammi Hart. But since Darden lives next door, keeping out of his way is just not possible.
This is a classic love story of boy meets girl, boy makes girl mad, boy gets girl. Appel is to be commended for including some lovely language that kept me reading.
"There must be static in the air," she mumbled.
"A storm's brewing, you think?" he said softly, gazing deep into the emerald mirrors of her soul.
Ronnie froze in place, entranced by the scent of Dave's sweet, musky aftershave and the nearness of him. "A storm?"
"Like thunder and lightning."
And this passage:
She and Dave were like sparklers. They flamed and fizzled in the velvety blackness of the night but, after their brief flash of light, the only thing left were two wire sticks covered with ash. As Nat had told her on the Fourth, "Sparklers all burnt up ain't much to look at and they're not worth keeping."
The plot twist I most enjoyed occurs during a canoe and caving adventure that results in an earthquake and lovemaking. Later that same day, Ronnie finds out that Dave had made some contacts which were helping her business. Ronnie is incensed and hurt because she wants to be able to succeed on her own and orders Dave out of her life. Both characters keep out of the other's way, trying to dampen their real emotions, until an accident brings to light their true feelings. A bonus surprise is revealed at the end that brings a sigh of contentment both to the characters and the readers that are watching them.
I enjoyed this romance and was pleasantly surprised by the lack of profanity and wouldn't have minded a longer read, perhaps telling more about the colorful supporting cast: Floyd, the hog farmer; Edna, Dave's Aunt; and of course, little Natalie. I also wished for more of a description of the clay artist's profession.
"Country Boy, City Girl" is just the right size for a day-long read for those romantic souls that long for a good love story.
CEO to CEO.......2002-06-24
This is a nice, heart-warming story of recently widowed Ronnie, trying to set up a new life for herself and daughter Nat. Renting an old farmhouse as a storefront, she begins establishing a business selling her artistic pottery creations. Ronnie is an independent minded woman, not liking to be dependent on another or having her decisions made for her, so when her neighbor and landlord Dave arrives to look both her and her store over, the first seeds of antagonism are placed, even though there is an obvious attraction between the two. Dave is CEO and president of a large discount store business, has a certain amount of typical male arrogance, and a little bit of a blind spot in understanding why Ronnie reacts so sharply to any business suggestions he makes. The errors and misunderstandings between the two form the basis for the lasting conflict between the two even as their romantic feelings for each other grow. How the conflict is resolved is quite predictable, but nevertheless very satisfying.
Appel does a very good job of making both Ronnie and Dave very believable (and very likeable) people, a prime requisite for any novel of romance. Her descriptions of the people of the small town and her quiet development of the events along the courtship road are nicely done, allowing the reader to sit back and just enjoy this simple story. Appel's prose style is very straightforward, with good but not overpowering descriptions and dialogue that matches her characters.
Perhaps it would have added some additional scope to the work if we had seen Dave in his business mode rather than see only his home-town and courting face (though you see intimations of it in his courting planning). I think it would have added a level of complexity and abrasion to the dynamics between him and Ronnie that would have made the story a little richer.
Not earth-shaking, but a very competently told story good for some relaxing entertainment.
Heartwarming.......2002-05-27
Cynthianna Appel has presented us with a charming easily read romance. "Country Boy, City Girl" introduces us to 'Ronnie' a delightful artistic independent woman and 'Dave' her landlord/neighbor. From first unexpected kiss the two are attracted. The author draws you into the midst of the tension crackling between Ronnie and Dave and with plausable action and authentic dialogue keeps you turning page after page to the loving conclusion. A great rainy afternoon read.
Beverly J Scott author of Righteous Revenge
Great reviews for Country Boy, City Girl!.......2002-04-05
Whenever I open a Cynthianna Appel novel I'm immediately engulfed by the warmth of her characters. She has the distinct talent to allow me to feel and experience the dramatic emotions that take place in her books. Readers will not be disappointed in her newest release; you will be rewarded with a down home love story that will long be remembered once you finish the last page.
--Suzie Housley for Bridges Magazine
Cynthianna Appel has written an exceptional Contemporary Romance. It has all the elements that immediately captured and maintained my full attention. Another winner!
--Myshelf.com Reviews
You've heard of comfort food? Well, COUNTRY BOY, CITY GIRL is comfort reading. Full of small town humor and neighborliness, the book is complete with an old-fashioned Fourth of July, homemade pickles and pies, and a swing beneath a magic tree. Set in the Missouri Ozarks, there is even a small,
feminine version of "Opey" urging on a romance between her mom and a locally based entrepreneur. Ronnie Hawthorn is every young woman and Green Springs is all that's good about small towns. A charming read.
--Marilyn Gardiner, author of FLIGHT OF ANGELS
Cynthianna Appel has crafted a story as warm and homey as the small Missouri town in which it's set. Packed with typical American family values, COUNTRY BOY, CITY GIRL is a gentle story with limited sensuality, but plenty of tease and flirting, filled with characters everyone will recognize from small town America. From the first pages, you'll feel you're home in Green Springs along with Ronnie Hawthorn.
Mary Allyce for The Write Lifestyle
COUNTRY BOY, CITY GIRL is another tender romance from
Ms. Appel. With lively characters, a fast pace,
smooth narrative and a heartfelt plot, this is a story
that will appeal to... romance fans. Within
the pages, you'll find a simple story of a growing
love that is sure to bring a smile to each reader's face.
