Praise for this book

"Margaret Tutor is a wonderful read! As a fan of historical fiction, I couldn't help but become attached to the characters, especially adorable little Mary Jane and Jerry. Each character has a unique story to tell, and it is interesting to see how their lives are entwined. The fact that these characters are based on Margaret's family members makes the book all that more poignant. The plot line is enthralling and heartwarming. I thoroughly enjoyed the Southern flavor scattered throughout the book, from sassy sayings to subtle humor. The surprise ending is a tear-jerker as well. I strongly recommend Just Passing Through as a book club choice, or to anyone who wants to read a very sweet story."
