We Are All Welcome Here
Author: /Elizabeth Berg.





The author has written a novel set back in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1964. Paige Dunn, contacted polio while pregnant and is confined to an iron lung machine struggling to raise her daughter, Diana. Paige’s husband is no longer in the picture. The care of Paige falls to her 13 year old daughter and her black care giver Peacie .Diana is split between love and resentment for the time it takes to care for her mother. This book is funny with colorful characters that are struggling through life in 1960. This book touches on adult and adolescents responsibilities, with a brief look at the relationships of race and class in the 60’s. I really enjoyed this book and found it to be a quick read.
