It's a fantastic bag, but I have a tendency to over-stuff it and it gets to be very heavy.

The Braid (Thorndike Press Large Print Literacy Bridge Series)
$23.95
Teenage sisters Sarah and Jeannie MacKinnon live in the mid-nineteenth century, a time of upheaval in their native Scotland. During the Highland Clearances, families are being summarily evicted from the Western Isles, often with little or no warning, sometimes allowed to take only the clothes they wear.
When the MacKinnons are forced to leave their home, 14-year-old Jeannie accompanies her parents and three younger siblings, hoping to make a new life in Canada. But stubborn 15-year-old Sarah hides until the boat has left, then goes with her grandmother to an even smaller island, where there is no bailiff to evict them.
On their last night together, Sarah braids her own hair with her sister's, then cuts the braid in two and leaves half in the sleeping Jeannie's hand before sneaking away. "You/me/sisters/always."
The stories of the separated sisters are told in alternating short chapters as intimate as entries in a diary. The third strand of the narrative braid is provided by short "praise poems" between the chapters, each poem praising something named in the narrative strands: boats, dreams, feather, stones, stars. "When clouds part and the night sky clears, / stars are fixed points for travelers /moving away from places fixed / in their hearts as home."
Life is not easy. When Sarah receives word her father and two of the younger children have died on the Atlantic crossing, she must grieve their loss without even the comfort of knowing which child still lives. Homeless and penniless in the New World, Jeannie and her mother search unsuccessfully for kinfolk who moved there more than twenty years earlier.
Each sister cherishes her half of the braid, gathering strength from knowing that she is not alone in spirit. The praise poems are sincere. "Such beauty in the world, such strength / in all the creatures. Each mussel / somehow finds a rock to cling to, / opening when washed by water, / closing when the tide goes out."
The story of each girl's adventures is so compelling that the reader at first may not realize the narratives, too, are poems. In an extraordinary feat of literature, author Helen Frost has braided the three strands of the book in a poetic pattern as intricate and as strong as a Celtic knot. The Braid is a book to be experienced for its drama, savored for its beauty, and cherished for its affirmation of hope and goodness in life.

Great bag. Good quality and configuration. My daughter took it on a trip to India with lots of activity. Went every mile with her and was in great condition when she got home.
