Memoir 4+/5
Sarah Polley was a Canadian child actor who starred in Anne of Green Gables, among other notable projects, but her family life and acting career made her childhood difficult. This memoir provides a fascinating look into the world of child actors.
Still working on Chapter 25. Turned out to need several new scenes.
Fantasy 3/5
Onyesonwu, discriminated against for her race, her magical ability, and her sex goes on a quest to bring her rapist-father to justice. The story was good, but slow.
Editing up to chapter 25, so over halfway. Lost a bit of work and had to recreate it. Frustrating–I know better!
Historical 5+/5
Liesel, an orphan in Germany during World War II, witnesses the privation of war and the ethical issues of the treatment of Jewish people. Stunningly written and heart-wrenching.
