For some reason I didn't connect with this book. But, give it a try.

bought outside our awesome local bookstore "firefly books" - luckily for me, it was outside on the $1 books rack! shows it's always good to check those out...ya never know. I did not know the author, but there was a blurb n the back by Richard Russo, which convinced me to give it a try. I'm very glad I did...I think it's a wonderful book and I'm lucky I found it, and I think the next person who finds it will be equally lucky. cheers!
