Wonderful story, set in the Old South of 1933. Truly not to be missed if the traditions and history of the south are of intrest to you.

Another wonderful book by Sandra Dallas and my new favourite by her! A beautiful tale about finding yourself amongst strangers. Lovely, engaging writing -- I was sorry when it was over!

I enjoyed this book. It is a quick read that takes place in Mississippi and also Colorado. It is a little bit of a love story, and little bit of mystery, and takes place in 1933.

This book was very satisfying and entertaining. This suspense and the period (the depression) added together and made it very real.

This was a good book and a fast read - sort of a mystery, sort of a story about finding out the truth about your own family history and an interesting look into Mississippi during the 1930s amid the Depression.

I enjoyed this book but not nearly as much as some of her others. It was kind of slow moving. My favorite of what I have read by this author is The Diary of Mattie Spencer. I highly recommend that one.

Thumbs down. I could not get into this book. Very slow moving. I posted it this morning, and it on on several wish lists. Good luck, I hope someone enjoys the book.
