GREAT AND TOUCHING READ
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This of course is the beginning of the Waltons (TV). This book is now often overlooked, which is a shame as it is a well written piece of literature. This is the touching story of a typical mountain family during the depression years. I enjoy rereading this one ever so often, near Christmas. It is not a lengthly tale, it is one you can read on a snowy Saturday (get you in the mood). This is also a well crafted book, told my a master story teller. The author's character developement is absolutely wonderful. I hate to use the word "classic" as I feel it is quite over used, but with this work I am tempted. It is certainly a book you should add to your list.

For years I have loved the Walton Family.The Books on the Spenser family are delightful.Can anyone tell me how I could get the Movies The Homecoming.The original is Starring Patricia Neal,and then if I am not mistaken there is also a Christmas movie with the TV Walton Family.I would love to have these movies.Thanks for your help.
Heartwarming little novel.

I picked this up at the library one day, being in a Christmas mood and after years of watching The Walton's "Homecoming" Christmas special and loving it. The story is quite different fromt the TV movie, somewhat more bleak in tone...Olivia here is worrying that her husband's delay in coming home is because he is off drinking somewhere instead of hurt in a bus accident. Probably a bit more accurate feel of the Depression here. Still very absorbing and touching, the characters are no less lovable. A nice short read for a rainy day.

It amazed me that so much emotion could be packed into one little book. It's a moving adventure.
