Turtle on a Fence Post

This book cam to my attention while reading another book. The reference to the meaning behind the title was intriguing and I decided to give the book a look. I must say that is was one of the best books I've read just because in a long time. I would highly recommend it.

This was great! It was a great follow up from The Man who loved Clowns. Delrita has been mourning for her parents,her uncle, and her home. Then Aunt Queenie's father tells Delrita that she's like a turtle on the fence post who needs help. Later, Delrita finally finds enough courage to talk to someone. Can you guess who it was? If you have read The Man who loved Clowns, you should read Turtle on a Fence Post. I recommend it to anyone.

For those of you that didn't know, Turtle on a Fence Post is the follow up to The Man Who Loved Clowns. The Man Who Loved Clowns has been my favorite book for years. When I came upon Turtle on a Fence Post, I thought there is no way this can be as good as the first one. I was so wrong. The book takes up where The Man Who Loved Clowns left off. Although both books are fictional, some of the characters are based on real people. It is so wonderfully written, I cried when I read it. It portrays the emotions one might feel after experiencing a great loss excellently. I thought it was a great book and I would encourage everyone to read it.

The best work yet of June Rae Wood!! Wood really captures the emotions of Delrita Jensen. The young Delrita is struggling with life. She's lost her beloved parents and Uncle Punky in the time span of three months. Then it takes a retired man from the army to teach her really about life.

This book tells the story of Delrita Jensen, a young girl who has just lost her parents and her favorite uncle. Now living with her aunt and uncle, Delrita has to overcome struggles with her aunt, friends, a WWII veteran, and herself. This novel touches the soul and reminds people to be thankful for everything they have.

This book is fabulous!!!!
