Another slow starting book, but ended up being a really good story. The book is actually two stories intertwined into one and very well done. I enjoy the historical lessons of New Mexico in the late 1800's and the guessing game played with the characters. (

I really enjoyed this book. The writing was good, the story well-told and the setting so beautifully described it made me want to visit New Mexico. I also liked the mystery surrounding the family history of the main characters. This book was just sitting in my huge TBR pile and I picked it out randomly. Don't even remember putting it there in the first place. I'm glad I did. (

A woman with a complicated family history discovers new things about it after her grandmother's death. Numerous historical flashbacks. Good for people interested in the Southwest and in genealogy/family history. (

A slow start but I soon found myself pulled in by this story of learning to deal with the past, even when it is painful. A blending of history and landscape, the characters were honest even as they dealt with their wounded psyches in different ways. (
