Still, I liked it so it couldn't have been a completely bad time to read it, right? It did leave me feeling sad for awhile though.

I love the cover art, but it's the story that has me intrigued. I spent 20 years of my childhood in Southern California and my husband remembers living in L.A. (the Valley) when there were still orange groves. I suspect it will be quite an emotional read, but often times, those prove to be the best books. Guess I should get The Lotus Eaters, too, huh?Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-7903112445846270162012-09-16T10:26:31.460-07:002012-09-16T10:26:31.460-07:00I've really been looking forward to this one a...I've really been looking forward to this one and glad to hear it lived up to your expectations.
