When you are done reading my story, why not pass me along to a friend or leave me in a special place where somebody else can find me.

My mother found the book but she and her friends do not use computers, so they didn't understand what to do with it. First she read and enjoyed it then she shared it with 2 friends. They discussed the book and then she asked me if I would like to read it. I did and enjoyed it, a very quick read. I enjoy historical novels. I liked the variety of characters. We decided to carry it until we come to a place we would feel compelled to drop it off, not sure where that will be yet.
