Personal Review: Joy in the Morning (Perennial Classics) by
Betty Smith
I finished this book not but two minutes ago and am in awe over the
magical journey it took me on. This book is definitely a Betty Smith classic,

and is simaliar to A Tree Grows In Brooklyn in many ways. The main
character, Annie, has a very unique and presice personality. Very
unpredictable, yet always does something you would expect the character
to do. The other characters, including Carl, Henry, and the Dean came to
life in my mind and seemed as real as my next door neighboor. The book
was very believable and I felt compassion towards the characters and all
the struggles they faced incluing money, pregnancy, in-laws, marriage,
college, and many others. The plot was interesting and suspensful. I
wanted to see what Annie was going to do next, if Carl was going to get a
job. Smith is an expert writer, and as I said about A Tree Grows In
Brooklyn, if she kept on writing about the Browns I would keep on reading.
I was disappointed when it ended, but satisfied at the same time because I
had enjoyed the story so much. I highly reccomend this novel! I guarantee
you will fall in love with this book.
