"I wasn't sure that I was going to enjoy this new series by Susan Wittig Albert. The Great Depression does not seem like a particularly entertaining time period, but I agree with the author that this period of our own history has a particular relevance and inspiration for the current day. The way people responded to economic downturn is motivating, illuminating, and gives you pride in the American spirit, at least at a point in history when that spirit was distinctly less whiny. Many of the methods and habits of that time period are becoming popular again, and, as always, the author portrays the work of the garden, home, kitchen, and community with dignity and appeal. The mystery in this one is fun, and draws on one of the more colorful periods of Chicago's history, even though the story does not take place in Chicago. I don't want to say more and spoil the story! [return][return]What I particularly appreciate about this book and Susan Albert Wittig's work in general is her portrayal of women - smart, strong, hard-wording, flawed, loving, and deeply feminine. She creates characters that are women's women, not men's women or women pretending to be men, and they are compelling and a joy to know."
Listened to the audiobook. Narrated very well and keeps the attention. Non-fiction account of the events during the uprising and reign of the KKK. Very detailed about how the organization started, all of the horrible things they did, their initial intentions and how everything blew up. Tells personal accounts and stories you don't learn about in history class!
First the story is in need of an editor.. For example.. Us successfully single healer girls.... Just a thought. Other than that the story was short sweet and predictable. Nothing special but it was a good story line. I liked the characters and the relationships that they built I just felt like everything that happened was something that I would normally read in a contemporary piece.
