This one has it all...laughter, mystery, tears.
I found it confusing to start but got into it after the first chapter. Great characterization.

I figured out the "mystery" fairly quickly. But still it was a good quick get away from the world for a day read. I may pick up some more of her books for those times I need a super simple book to just get away.

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. It is my favorite Sandra Dallas book. It has a wonderful story of the enduring friendships between women.

This is a light read, and very enjoyable. I was surprised at the age of the narrator. She seemed to have an older voice to me. Perhaps it was because of the Dust Bowl Era, that she seemed more mature. Overall, the storyline was good. I could get a firm picture of each character. Though the title is unusual, I liked that the author explained what it meant as I read through the book. If you're looking for something light to read at the beach or in the carpool line at school, this is a perfect choice. I look forward to reading more of Sandra Dallas' books.
