The Relatives Came by Cynthia Rylant

This book tells the story of a family and their visit from relatives one summer. It talks of the strange closeness of having people sleeping at your house and the simple way the families shared their time together for a few weeks. It takes you  to a time when life seemed to be at a slow pace, and families shared the basics of life together. Ahhh.

  1. Things are different now. I remember when my relatives would come to visit and stay. Strange yet comforting. Now I see families living together but not necessarily for the good. Looks like a great book that represents the changes our world has gone under.
