Lessons at Blackberry Inn by Karen Andreola illustrated by Nigel Andreola*

Sequel to Pocketful of Pinecones

Mrs. Andreola continues the story of Carol's home educating journey in the 1930's in this second book. She, her husband, Michael, and her children, Donald and Emily, adjust to country living as they help an elderly woman, Emma, run Blackberry Inn. This book does not have reflection questions and ideas at the end of each chapter. It is a story first, instructional second.

Even though it was idealistic and a bit too simplistic in resolution, I thoroughly enjoyed the escape into a wholesome world. These books have encouraged me because they value mothers and their influence.

*Highly recommend for those who want to escape and to be encouraged!

-Borrowed from the library.
