Has a lot of characters and a lot going on - but it sorts itself out toward the end. Enjoyable reading.

Wonderful book - a very fast read because I couldn't put it down. So sad but so uplifting.

I'm joining the rest of the reviewers in this grossly over-done book. If the book was half as funny as the author thinks she is, then it would be mildly entertaining. As it was, I quit reading the silly footnotes after the first chapter and quit reading the book about half-way through. By then I felt my intelligence was being insulted. I finished the chapter on her husband and sons' urinary sloppiness and figured that was just totally enough. I hope this is the first and LAST book she's written but am not interested enough to find out.

Hard book to read since I'm a mom and cannot even imagine what this woman went through. Also because it happened so near to where I live and I knew some of the people involved in helping in the search. I am so sad for this poor mother and for Laci and Conner. It's good to see some justice in this world although no amount of justice will ever replace Sharon Rocha's loved ones.


The Olive Farm : A Memoir of Life, Love, and Olive Oil in the South of France

I loved it. I found it better than "Under The Tuscan Sun". This book is sweet, romantic and informative, as well. I would recommend it to anyone. In fact, I'm going to keep the book instead of re-posting it because I want to read it again.
