A Coal Miner's Bride: The Diary of Anetka Kaminska, Lattimer, Pennsylvania, 1896 (Dear America)

The diary gives an intimate view of Anetka's world, but I wonder if the author considered other perspectives or narrative styles when planning this story.

Her entries felt so genuine, capturing both the struggles and small joys of her life. I’d love to hear if others connected with that balance.

The setting felt so vivid and immersive, but I wonder what was left out or simplified to keep it accessible for middle-grade readers.
