The Blessed Child is a well written novel based on a family deserted by the father and devastated by the murder of the mother. Wednesday is the lead character, older brother Reuben working to support the family, flighty younger sister Marcie and sick young brother Joseph all are explained well enough to make you care what happens next to them.
