Pearl's Diary

Pearl's Diary is a delightful children's book, filled with memories of an eight-year-old, not to mention her extraordinary wisdom, found at the end of each story. Although these stories are being told by her now grown son, they are still written as if told by an eight-year old. This gives these quaint, yet somewhat historic stories, a simplistic and child-like point of view. The stories are as informative as a young child can be, but offers just enough information to keep you reading.

Pearl's Diary also brings endearing humor, to put a smile on your face, or will even cause you to chuckle. These stories are telling of a time that seem to be long lost, where families worked together, and helped one another on homestead farms. No chore was too small or too big, they just had to be done. As soon as a child was old enough, they were given chores, and these chores grew as the child grew. But this was the way of the world back in the pioneer days, where technology was nothing like what we have today. Today, there are no more pioneers, breaking new ground, but thankfully, we still have the memories of what life was like for a pioneer family.
