Loved the book. It gave a totally different insight to Frank Lloyd Wright. However, I love books about strong women and the sacrifices they make.

It is a great little book intended more for middle school children rather than adults. Having grown up near Pittsburgh the book holds a certain charm for places that were or are still there. An appropriate book for bullying, family ties and values.

I enjoyed this book very much. As a quilt historian, we often speculate abot the people who made the quilts we study. This book has so much background that I never considered before about books. Excellenat read.

Vermilion Drift (Cork O'Connor, Bk 10) (Audio CD) (Unabridged)

A typical William Krueger book. I like how his characters and plots interweave. They are often a little dark for me but reflect the dark side of society. A good read.
