Why read it?

This was a new-to-me author, and I absolutely loved the way she wove this story together with both historical context as well as rich character development and detailed descriptions of early twentieth century New York and California.

Ginny Kubitz Moyer’s rich narrative, lyrical prose, and attention to detail are what set this story apart for me.
