This was part of an arts day camp in our little town, and I loved Carolyn. Every kid that went through her workshop came out a different person--at the very least, a much better writer. I heard about the publication of this novel, but it is so far down my TBR list at the moment. I wanted a review to see how it went over--I very much appreciate the depth of your review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-59113396003643419252009-07-18T10:55:53.130-07:002009-07-18T10:55:53.130-07:00Denise - Thank you.
