Friendship In Rayie Nightingale

After reading “Raymie Nightingale,” I felt a deep connection with some of the characters. Not because I have had similar encounters or experiences, but because the author does a really good job of portraying their personalities. Raymie, Louisiana, and Beverley each have very different personalities, yet they come together and form a beautiful friendship. I feel like I developed a relationship with each of the girls and have come to know them by the end of the story. Two lasting impressions that I was left with is that everyone has a story to tell and that adults have so much to learn from children.
Raymie and her friends each come from very different households. Raymie’s father runs off with a dental hygienist, Louisianan’s parents are deceased
