Little Altars Everywhere

Little Altars everywhere is a series of short stories that come from different people in the Walker family and the black couple that worked for them. It was interesting to see each person's perspective of the family and what they were dealing with. Sometimes the book made me laugh so hard, especially the first story about the camp. Later the book was very sad and sometimes alarming. It made me wish I could help make things better some how but of course no one could. Some people have sad lives and they just have to live through the sadness they created for themselves. Unfortunately, the usually involves children who don't deserve it. The story illustrates what I've seen to be true though, how some of those children can begin to see how mixed up their parents are and learn to accept them and love them anyway but also make some corrections for their own lives. People can learn from suffering and grow through it.
