| | The Bluebird and the Sparrow, by Janette Oke, reviewed by Ruth Marlene Friesen |
 | | I must confess that for some years I've thought of Janette Oke books to be nice, but rather simple in plot, easy to read, but more like chocolates for Christian women, something to nibble on while doing other, more important things. |
 | | She traces Berta's from the time she was three and waiting for her younger sister Glenna to be born, right through to when Berta was in her 30s and becoming like the spinster librarian she was assisting. |
 | | This book would be emotionally helpful to any woman who finds herself feeling like she is the plain sister in the background, always being there for others, but feeling short-changed in other ways or when comparing herself to more forward siblings. |
