Tayvie's Story by Mim EichmannMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
What a story this is. There’s as much drama here as there is fact. I couldn’t put the book down and yet I caught myself running to the computer to look up more about so many historical milestones.
This is the story of a young girl, Tayvie or Helen Mason Campbell. It begins in the early 1900’s in Chicago. Running from a shopkeeper while trying to steal bread or some sustenance for both her and her unconscious mother, little Tayvie finds refuge in the back seat of a car. It’s a ride that will change her life forever. It will save her life and yet it will place her in danger many times.
Mim Eichmann pens a story and creates a character you will never forget. It hit home with me as my background is in music and no one admires singers and bandleaders of the first half of the 20th century more than myself. It was so fun to hear about well-known bandleaders and to imagine being a singer at the Moulin Rouge. This story goes right through the US Depression and on to World War II. Each event is well-described, and all seem very well-researched. Reading of Tayvie’s hardships, life, and successes made such a great picture for the reader. I think it would make a great movie.
