Interpretation Toward Books A Coal Miner's Bride: The Diary of Anetka Kaminska, Lattimer, Pennsylvania, 1896 (Dear America)

This book. This book. I read it in fifth grade, absolutely adored it, and finally got my mom to order me a copy. I've read it once a year since then....and it's eight years later. From the heroine's courage and compassion to her wonderful, charming hero, this book hits the nail on the head for kids, adults, and anyone in between. The turmoil of the setting only adds to the magnificance that is this book. I'd reccommend it to anyone, anyone at all. I also credit it as one of the reasons I still prefer romance to any other genre. After reading about Anetka and Leon's developing love, I was hooked :) Anyway, this is one book I plan to keep forever!!

Write-Up Out Of Books A Coal Miner's Bride: The Diary of Anetka Kaminska, Lattimer, Pennsylvania, 1896 (Dear America)

A Coal Miner's Bride / 0-439-05386-2Anetka, a young Polish girl, is infuriated when her father, a coal worker in America, sends her a ticket to America that he has bought by promising her in marriage to a fellow coal worker. She arrives in America with her younger brother and a bothersome, yet very attractive soldier named Leon, only to find that her prospective husband is a boorish brute with three daughters from a previous marriage. Anetka silently accepts her wedding and unhappy marriage,

Honestly, I'm 28 years old and I still finding myself really enjoying these books. They can really transport you into the time period and setting and I always loved how you get a glimpse into what everyday life may be like for these people. I really liked the character of Anetka, and I feel like she was incredibly strong and hardworking, and I loved how despite everything she was determined to be a good wife and mother. I also loved that she had a temper and wasn't afraid to speak her mind even

I really enjoyed Anetka but often wondered while reading this was America really better than Sadowka, Poland? I felt the diary entries drew me closer to Babcia, Stefania and life in Poland more than America; so at times I found myself distracted.

*Oops, sorry, I put Leo instead of Leon; I didn't realize that*This is the best book I've ever read! Since I'm Polish, I really loved the history behind it, and I understood the words that Anetka was talking about. It is aout Anetka, who has to leave her Polish town with her brother and a former Russian soldier, Leo, to escape to America. When she finally arrives to America, she will have to marry a man that her father promised a wife to, and this is how Anetka and her brother were able to get

I used to read all the Dear America books, and this one was my favorite; I kept the hard copy years later. I first read it around late elementary or middle school. The historical setting was educational, but I loved it because I'm a big sap at heart. When I first read it I thought the Leon/Anetka romance was surprising because Anetka is annoyed by him at first, but it's so obvious now! "His handsome face is very annoying" we know, Anetka. Also, the book is slightly conflicted but it's mostly pro

Okay, so I liked this book because I've never really read anything before that had to do with Polish history. Anetka seemed a lot older than 13.However, I hate how they made it seem like unions were the only answer to some of the worker's poor working conditions.Also, there was a VERY BIG misconception of love in this book.

A beautifully written story about a young girl coming over to the United States to be with her father. When she arrives, she realizes that her father has betrothed her to a fellow coal miner that works in the small town of Lattimer, Pennsylvania. Not the typical "girly girl" Anetka has a hard time accepting the marriage but knows that it is her duty to her father and her family to follow through with it. Along with a new husband Anetka also gains three daughters. Just a child herself, Anetka has
