RELEASE NOTES:

Handed off to jimmielegs, as a kind of themed release. ;)

What a perfect themed release! Thanks for thinking of it, Discomicky!

This is a story that follows many generations of the same family. It skips around in time, and at first I had trouble keeping everything straight. It all comes together beautifully, however, with mysteries solved, connections made, and many strange coincidences that the characters often miss completely. It really illustrates how we are all intertwined, sometimes as people living through the same historical events, and sometimes as families sharing the similar frustrations and many times, very similar fates. I really enjoyed this book.Thanks Discomicky for thinking of me!

RABCK!!!!

I "caught" this in the mailbox today. Thank you so much!

Released as part of my 20 book Edmonds CC book drop! I am releasing 20 books in one morning at my school.

I’m doing this in hopes of spreading the word about BookCrossing. I also wanted to share my love of reading with fellow students.

Good luck little book! May you find a nice home.
