A short a well written memoir of 70 year old Anita returning home for a visit. While I agree with other reviewers that the story is choppy at times, I would argue that memories do that too. Interesting story, and one I recommend. New to me author, but enjoyed her writing style.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ecopy for my Kindle.
The story could have been so much better with editing- too choppy and the ending?

This book seemed like a nice Sunday dinner fashioned with love and the right ingredients. It was reminiscent of stories my Great Gran would tell about her childhood. This is a nice, wholesome and easy read. I was "well fed." I recommend this to all lovers of historical fiction, history and family stories.

Short but sweet tale of an Elderly Lady, Anita Stalls. Anita is traveling by train to her childhood home in Greendale Mississippi. She also takes a trip down memory lane. While on the train she recalls many happenings as a child growing up with her real and adopted family. I think this would be awesome to listen to as an audiobook. It would be like setting by your Grandmother listening to tales of the Good Old days. I really enjoyed. I do wish it was longer, and I feel like a few details were left out, but still a great read.

Sweet story about a woman in her 70's taking a train ride back home.The home she hadn't seen since her high school graduation.
All along the nine hours train trip,she reminisces about growing up in a small.town and the wonderful people, she met along the way.
When she reached her destination,she thought,how much it had changed,with new stores,apartments and eateries.
As she stepped from the train,she went back in time,once again and thought to herself,yes, "I Remember Them.."
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for allowing me to read this novel by Juanita Rogers and give my honest review.

I thought this was a really sweet story. It truly made me think of a 70+ year old woman was expressing her thoughts on life. The memories and how quickly she reverted back to those times made it easy to see a little white haired woman sitting and telling her grandchildren all about the good old days.
Though the story was short I thought it was a pleasant read. Very descriptive about settings and what the woman saw/felt. There was a bit of repetition in wording and transitions but overall, a nice read.

I like this book a lot! Anita is an elderly lady on a train going back to her
earlier home and remembering her life growing up. This brought back a
lot of memories in my younger years as well. It's a quick read but it covers
much of her memories of her family. It kept my attention with the shotgun
house, the outhouse, the way they cooked, made meals, gathered to make
quilts, handmade clothes and working the farm on the plantation. I give it
4 stars for the way it took me back to earlier times.

Simply told and heartfelt remembrance of days gone by and going home. The writing was a bit simplistic for me. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

This was a short and simple story. The wording was very choppy and did not flow well. It read almost like an early reader book for a child. The story itself was okay. Even though you find yourself basically on the train and following memories of growing up, the tale was okay. I felt like there was a lot of the book that needed closure. I don't know what happened to Anita's family...real and adoptive.

I'm not sure I would take the time to read another one of her books. It just wasn't deep enough to hold my attention.

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

What a lovely story. If you are looking for a quick read, a story that will leave you with a gentle smile, and remind you of a visit with Aunt Bee in Mayberry, this is it. It is a collection of memories from youth in another time.

The memories are of growing up with good and loving people in a rural town. People who help each other through the difficulties of life and share the joy of the good times. I hope that today's young people read a story like this. I've seen society change. Maybe this can relay the message that it isn't material stuff that matters in life. it is being there and doing what you can for the good of those around you.

A beautifully written short memoir. This is an enjoyable read. I just wish it had been a bit longer.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

This was a super sweet book about one woman’s memories of growing up in the south. I felt that it was written more with a younger population in mind due to the very simplistic writing style. I skipped through a bit of the story truthfully.

What a wonderful book!! I didn't want this book to end it was so good. I can't wait to read more from this author. Thank you #NETGALLEY for a copy of this awesome book.

A gentle meandering through a lifetime of memories : I kept waiting for something
to happen, but I guess it was more a 'slice-of-life' story. Well actually, on reflection,
quite a bit did happen during that early life, but events are told in a very understated
way. The story seems unfinished - I can see why it was planned to end where it does,
but I think it should have been taken a little further in order to round things off...
