I was so hoping you would find your way here. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a note. I just love these books! I think you've hit on a subject and a place completely new, and so interesting. My area has a lot of people who moved here during the 60s and 70s, and they tranformed the towns with new businesses, art endeavors, restaurants. It is a wonderful, wonderful thing. They are active in town politics. And many of their children have stayed on as well. <BR/><BR/>I'm really delighted that Miss Molly Moonlight won't face the same (shall we say?) predicament. And I can't believe you read that comment. :<) <BR/><BR/>I thank you a million times for such great books and characters. (I hope the stalker/beater guy gets an extended jail term!)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-79121837321214077952009-04-05T14:37:00.000-04:002009-04-05T14:37:00.000-04:00Thank you very much, Nan.

As for 'heroine in danger', I'm happy to say that you may find a different ending in the next book, Winter of Secrets (coming in Nov. from Poisoned Pen).Vicki Delanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01106480550553972177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-7843648962859590802009-04-05T11:47:00.000-04:002009-04-05T11:47:00.000-04:00Thank you, Kay!

There's a kind of sadness about them which would be interesting to delve into. I suspect it comes partly from the world not living up to their youthful aspirations. And one other thing I'd like her to change is the 'heroine in danger' situation. You mentioned in your review how it happens again in this second book. I'd like to see the author drop it now, so the reader doesn't come to expect it. I am doing well with my 'challenge.' There sure are a lot of books left on the shelves I haven't read yet. :<)Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-58450125934328587602009-04-05T05:47:00.000-04:002009-04-05T05:47:00.000-04:00I'm so glad you enjoyed this book.

But I shall put this on the ever-increasing LIST. <BR/>I keep forgetting to mention a novelist whose three books I have enjoyed and in which you might be interested: Antony Eglin who is English but lives in America. He was first published by Constable Robinson, too. The first is called The Blue Rose, followed by The Lost Gardens, then The Water Lily Cross (as in hybrid, not a religious cross), and now, in 2009, the fourth called The Trail of the Wild Rose which I must now investigate further! Anthony Eglin is an authority on roses and his series are English Garden Mysteries. They are somewhat unbelievable but thorougbhly good; fun real page turners and filled with scenes of the English countryside. Great escapist stuff!<BR/>Margaret Powlinggalanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-82726118548188039622009-04-04T14:30:00.000-04:002009-04-04T14:30:00.000-04:00I recently read/reviewed a book in which the autho...I recently read/reviewed a book in which the author (Judith Ryan Hendricks) writes about a young woman who was raised on a hippie commune in Albuquerque.

Is the book fiction or nonfiction? I have a title on my to-be-read list called, All Fishes Come Home to Roost by Rachel Manija Brown about growing up in a hippie ashram. It's a fascinating subject with echoes that will go beyond one generation, I think.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-2936512055195066972009-04-04T12:18:00.000-04:002009-04-04T12:18:00.000-04:00That sounds interesting.
