BOOK REVIEW: Don't Tell the Girls: A Family Memoir

Don't Tell the Girls: A Family Memoir

By: Patricia Reilly Giff

Book Link to Amazon

This memoir is written for grades six and up, and is an excellent instructional tool for researching your own family roots.  The author spends the length of this short book reminiscing about her childhood and blending the stories, memories, and facts together to help decipher the unknown details of some of her ancestors, going back many generations.  While it is a very insightful approach, the uneasy juxtapositions between the past and present can throw the reader off track.
