Normally, I find books to be far better than the movie version, but in this case I found them to be equally wonderful. I recommend both. Joy in the Morning takes us back to a simpler time, but not necessarily easier. It was a time of unspoken prejudices and touches on the challenges women had with controlling their education, roles and destinies. Betty Smith also addresses what it was like to be gay and living outside of traditional roles during the early 1900s. Her message is about never giving up on your dreams, and being compassionate. I appreciated her writing even more upon reading her bio, which makes us realize that though her books are fiction, they were really about her life and experiences. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful Story of Marriage *by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2016* My mom encouraged me to read this book when I was a teenager. I enjoyed it but not as much as I did this time at age 69 after having been married and given birth. This book is quite progressive considering the fact that the story takes place in the 1920's but the heroine, Annie, has an interest beyond hearth and home. She is an aspiring writer. Feminists will rail against the fact that only Carl, her husband, receives higher education, although Annie is permitted to audit some English classes (having had only an 8th-grade education). I think it's a beautiful story of a young couple's first year of marriage with all the joys and blessings, trials and tribulations. Annie is the most resourceful, loving, people-oriented person you might ever want to meet. She's somewhat naive--I'm reminded of the Tammy movies from the fifties when a young woman's naivete was considered part of her charm. It was enjoyable for me to read a book I read as a teenager, as I was able to understand so much more now after having led a full life. I recommend rereading books one has read as a teenager. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A story about the life and experiences of a couple who meet, fall in love and get married. *by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2021* Betty Smith (1896-1972) is known for her classic “A tree grows in Brooklyn” and has written several other books based upon similar themes. This one (Joy in the morning by Betty Smith) takes place in 1927 when a woman named Annie McGairy and a Carl Brown meet, fall in love and get married.This is the kind of novel that appeals to women more than men, which is not a criticism of this book. This novel is all about the various conflicts and issues involved in being married and finding one’s purpose in life from a women’s point of view. This is usually not the kind of novel I enjoy reading; however, for many people it is a story which they may relate to in their own life experiences. Like her previous book (a tree grows in Brooklyn) this one is considered by some to be a classic in its field.If you are a fan of the books of Betty Smith you may want to read this book about marriage and family.Rating: 4 Stars.
