Betty lives in a small town in the United States, a place full of poverty, violence and discrimination. In Betty's world, she has been told since she was a child to be a woman who abides by "social rules" and accepts the injustice and suffering that society "gives" her.
In that oppressive era, Betty, like most women, could not rely on her own strength to resist the so-called fate, and had to choose to endure until her beloved sisters passed away in humiliation and unwillingness one by one. She finally decided to stand up bravely, make a long-standing voice, and start her own struggle...
Reader comments
A good book, the text is delicate, the language is like poetry, life is full of injustice, but full of strength and bravery. The father is ordinary but great, like a lighthouse, guiding the direction of the child. There is not a word of love in the book, but it makes people feel the love of father and son, the love of husband and wife, and the love of brotherhood. It is not hysterical, but it is shocking!
This book allowed me to see the plight and unyieldingness of women in that era. Betty lives in a repressive environment, but her heart is full of courage and determination. What happens to her sisters is heart-wrenching, and Betty's ultimate defiance is inspiring. I loved the character of Betty and was inspired by her strength and courage. This is a thought-provoking book, recommended to everyone!
This book tells the life history of Betty's family and the growth history of the children. It focuses on the growth of the three sisters and their Cherokee father. It tells the full affirmation and selfless love that this father gave them during their childhood. It tells the struggle and resistance of the Cherokee people, represented by women, in the white society. It tells the story of the harsh reality and the face of adversity. It was this father's love that allowed Betty to find herself from the edge of collapse again and again. If girls are born to be vulnerable, then I wish all girls can be as perseverant as Betty, and I wish the Cherokee people can become the masters of that land and reap happiness and beauty!
This is a strangely imaginative book that requires enough patience to read. In a family, parents are very important as role models for their children. It is also very important for children to have a happy childhood, otherwise they will live in darkness their whole lives. Very intriguing story.
My ideal father always protects his family from the wind and rain outside other people's writings. While envious, it also gave rise to a lot of reflection. It's a shame that the fathers who really should read or need to read this book may never read it.
After reading the whole story, you will still be shocked by Betty's bravery and sincerity. He lives in a difficult environment and is discriminated against everywhere. Fortunately, Betty has a father who loves him very much. He thrives in the package of love and faces difficulties when faced with problems.
Although I have made some inner improvements, I can't help but be shocked by the explosive plot: How much blessings do the women here need to grow up safely? . .
There are too many enemies in life, and you cannot be one of them.
It's unforgettable, and I can't calm down for a long time after reading it. This is not only about the little girl Betty growing up in hardship, but more importantly, her wise and brave Indian father, in this world full of mud, cares for their home, wife, daughter, and son like the sun to take care of their hearts! 25.5.25
A deeply moving work. It has the smell of earth, passionate emotions, pain and joy. I wish the Cherokee people can become the masters of that land, and I wish girls can be as persevering as Betty.
When I was a kid, I watched an American TV series called "Little House on the Prairie." It was very similar to this TV show. It would be great to make into a film and TV series. [Praise]
When a girl grows up, she has the support of love from her father and the fierceness from reality. The girl breaks free from the shackles of racial discrimination and sexism and screams silently with her own story!
A heart that has been tempered many times will go to the vastest world
Innocent people have died and the devil is still alive. Why
Very shocking, my eyes are always sore
What kind of family this is, the life history of the Carpenters, and the growth history of the children. Growth also requires the souls of brothers and sisters. Barbarism sometimes needs to be shot with the gun of civilization.
I haven't finished it yet, but it's very interesting and very attractive to me.
I like to read, and see another side of life, which is fresh and different, as if I have seen a side of myself that I never knew.
