This was a book that I actually read (in hardcover) rather than listening to it on ‘Audible‘. I am glad I read it because I might have found the generational- & relationship-threads HARD to FOLLOW if I couldn’t go back & check the printed words.

A book I must have picked up at a ‘swap’ library. It had been hanging around the house for a longtime. I THINK, in the end, I picked it up because there was a mention that it was ‘set’ in a National Park — & I kind of guessed that it must be ‘Great Smoky Mountains‘ (a Park on my bucket list).

Intriguing story, so cleverly said. WOW. Today’s writers, especially the female ones, are so clever, creative & talented. I really enjoyed it.

I strongly urge you to check it out. I JUST BOUGHT her ‘Atomic City‘ to listen on Audible.
