Loved this book by Baldacci. It was so very different from his normal mystery/suspense novels. It was a beautiful, well written book!!

Usually my husband reads the David Baldacci books, but this one is different. In this book, he has written about his roots in the mountains. Drawing on his family history, Baldacci writes about two children from NYC who lose their parents and go to live with their great-grandmother on her farm. They meet numerous 'characters' and learn a lot about live and loving people. This was a heartwarming, endearing story.

This is one of the warmest, sweetest books I've ever read. Two small kids from NYC during the '30s wind up in the W. Virginia mountains. Great story!

I have never read anything by this author. Decided to take a chance one this one and glad I did. Very good story, beginning to end!
A dear friend gave me this book to read. I was a bit apprehensive because it wasn't my type of read. I decided to read it out of politeness. I was so glad that I did. Will say that it is a top 10 on my list. Being from the mountains of Virginia, I could relate to a lot of the book. I enjoyed it so much that I bought it for myself and bought my boyfriend's grandmother a copy as well. She enjoyed it so much she passed it to her sister who passed it to her daughter who passed it to her daughter. Everyone loved it! One of my all time favorite books.
Such a great book. The characters come alive! Good read!
