Book Review By Michelle Kidwell
The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers

Carson Mccullers takes us into the life of a family during the great depression, and the struggles they face, especially that of the main character a young girl struggling with her faith, and wanting more than anything to be a musician. She dreams of one day owning a piano which her family can not afford. This book is a sad tale, and not for the light hearted.
