"While too much in this novel happens with too little motivation or historical context, the underlying story of Nelly's yearing for the things of childhood-laughter, stories, love-may keep many readers with her to the bittersweet end." -- Fern Kory
-- Bulletin of the Center for Children\'s Books

The Memory String
by Eve Bunting
Each button on Laura’s memory string represents a piece of her family history. The buttons Laura cherishes the most belonged to her mother—a button from her prom dress, a white one off her wedding dress, and a single small button from the nightgown she was wearing on the day she died. When the string breaks, Laura’s new stepmother, Jane, is there to comfort Laura and search for a missing button, just as Laura’s mother would have done. But it’s not the same—Jane isn’t Mom. In Eve Bunting’s moving story, beautifully illustrated by Ted Rand, Laura discovers that a memory string is not just for remembering the past: it’s also for recording new memories.
