The Girl Who Stopped Swimming

This started a bit slowly for me, but about chapter 7, it picked up and I was hooked. It didn't have the laugh out loud moments that "gods in Alabama" did, but I loved the connections between Laurels art quilts and her life and those of the other characters. I found the characters well-devloped and likeable each in their own way. Since we all have events in our lives that we keep replaying in some way, I appreciate authors who develop their characters in a similar vein, and this tale does that beautifully. I'm ordering Between, Georgia right now!
