"Old Lady Sweetly Is Twenty" is a fun story of the coming of age of the
sweet, innocent and lovable Betty. Each page keeps turning itself as
we cheer Betty on through her naivety, her eye-opening experiences and
finally her resolve. This is a definite read for all ages bringing you
back to a time and place of simplicity yet narrow-mindedness. An
excellent first book for Denise McKay.

Reading "Old Lady Sweetly" feels like sharing a cup of tea with a new
friend: a new friend that is a great storyteller. It's hard not to love
and sympathize with Betty, the protagonist - her challenges, while
authentically 1950's, are also timeless and relevant to readers of any
generation. I'm a sucker for a good coming-of-age / overcoming-the-odds
story, and this book doesn't disappoint.
