Katherine's Story

I found Kat's Story to be a very interesting story. She lives in a beautiful setting, where it seems to be a comfortable place to live. Her cousin and her two best friends did a lot together, and showed how much of best friends they are. I love books that are based on the old times. Kat is a determined young girl to be an artist. She went through many disappointments, but didn't let them stop her. Her determation to be an artist, took her through a loophole which woke her parents up, and made them realize how serious she was. I don't understand the one who gave it a one star rating. It's a good book for young girls starting at age 9 to 15. I'd love to get a hold to the other three books by Erika Tamar & Thomas Kinkade

I got the book from the libray and didnt want to read it but then i read it an d couldnt put it down.lol

There very tuching, hart warming storys. My mom got it out of the library for me. I didn't want to read when I read it I couldn't put it down!You should read it to!

First of all I would just like to say this is the best book ever! After stumbling upon this book in the library I couldn't put it down. I finished it the day I got it! It is about a girl who dreams of more than living in a small fishing village called Cape Light. But, twists and turns through out the book make her realize something very important... I think this is a wonderful book! I suggest it to girls Grade 5 and up.

Twelve-year-old Katherine Williams, called Kat by her family and friends, is the daughter of the lighthouse keeper in Cape Light, Massachusetts, in 1905. Kat loves to paint and hopes to be a famous artist, but she is discouraged by the fact that her family does not support her dream, and that almost all renowned painters have been men. Kat soon gets an opportunity to study art at a school in Boston, but her parents, who struggle to make ends meet, cannot afford to send her there. Kat is determined to earn the tuition by herself. In the process, she learns valuable lessons about home and family. This was a charming book that young girls who enjoy historical fiction are sure to enjoy, with it's old fashioned setting and likable characters.
