Mama's Bank Account

So I recently read a book called Mama's Bank Account, by Kathryn Forbes. It's a quick read, but very enjoyable. It's about a Norwegian-American family whose Mother, "Mama", is the main character in this book. Her daughter, Katrin, later known as Kathryn, wanted to write a book about her strong mother, and the tough times she got them through. The way she carried herself through these times impressed me the most. She was always firm, loving, and kind, and never lost her temper. It's not exactly an action book, but if you are looking for a light hearted read, this is the book for you.
