A very different venue for a love story from Sandra Brown. She deals with several subjects in the book - the Depression, racial prejudice and autism among them -- in a very caring and compassionate way. A good book which I really enjoyed.

A very different book by Sandra Brown, but also very moving. This book is different from what she has been writing for the past 20 years. She was unsure how it would be accepted by her fans. I not only accepted it, I loved it! It shows she is an excellent storyteller.

Not at all like Sandra Brown's other books of romance and intrigue, which I absolutely love. Another I'll add to my keeper shelf. I loved it!

Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors. I was hesitant at first to read this book since it is different from what she usually writes. But I'm glad I read it. I learned a few things reading this book.

I liked this story about hard-tackle life in Texas in the Depression. I like fiction that weaves in historical facts so that I learn something. These characters seemed real for the 30's and its prim and proper boarding house times.
