The All-American Book Review


 The All-American featured two sisters in what else, an all-American family. Flossie loves books and Bert loves baseball. The story starts with their lives going typically with difficulties with friends and things that they would change. 


The story takes a dramatic turn with the introduction of the red lists and accusations of communism against their writer father that changes their lives. 


This story shows the before, the during, and some of the after.


It shows two girls, their dreams, and their disappointments. The characters are interesting, especially those viewed from the point of view of the girls. There are things they see and there are things that the reader will see with the insight of history. 


This story was well written and had my emotions everywhere they should be and there were things I didn't see coming. I loved the inclusion of the All-American girls baseball league especially in it's later years. 


I received an earc from the publisher and NetGalley and this is my honest review.
