Rebecca Bayliss rushed to her dying mother's bedside only to come away shattered by more than grief: her mother had revealed the existence of a family Rebecca knew nothing about.

Another book adopted from SmellyBelly's mother's neighbor. Will be releasing without reading.

On one of the many benches dotting the walkways.

Congratulations on finding a BookCrossing book!

Bookcrossing
n. the practice of leaving a book in a public place to be picked up and read by others, who then do likewise.
(added to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary in August 2004)

Please take a moment to let me/us know that you've found this book by writing a journal entry. You can make a journal entry without becoming a member of the site. If you do join, your level of anonymity is up to you as others will know you only by your username, and no one is ever given your email address. You can now do whatever you want with the book - keep it, give it to a friend, release it back into the wild, etc. You don't have to read the book, but if you do I hope you enjoy it.

BookCrossing is free (paying for the extra features is entirely optional) and there is no spam mail involved. The only emails you will receive are journal entries on books that you yourself have also journaled, and maybe the odd private message from other bookcrossers. For more information about BookCrossing, check out the homepage and the FAQs.

I was traveling to Canada for a visit with friends in Abbotsford Canada. I flew into Seattle Wa and then drove up to Abbotsford. We stopped at an outdoor outlet mall and my friend June saw the book sitting on a bench. She explained how the Traveling Books work and I decided to bring it back to Tennessee with me. I really like Rosamunde Pilcher and I am staring the book now. This is such a great idea. So, this book has been to Canada and now to Tennessee.
