But I also fully acknowledge that perhaps you have to have come to a certain point in your life to really appreciate the story.<BR/><BR/>I'll be clicking away to see what else these folks have said beyond your teasers. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-76664723239354368582007-07-03T14:32:00.000-05:002007-07-03T14:32:00.000-05:00LOL Maggie!

I hear her <I>Each Little Bird that Sings</I> was selected as a Newbery honor; although, I'm not positive on that. I look forward to your review.<BR/><BR/>Oh, I totally understand the reasoning for not wanting to read Southern in the summer. You can still participate in the "sense of place" contest though.

I assume the town is fictional, but it's set in Halleluia, Mississippi and it's just the cutest darn book: Love, Ruby Lavender by Deborah Wiles. I highly recommend it and will be writing up my review, soon - maybe tomorrow, since I have to go fetch the hubster from the airport, today.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20112247.post-90219910993449283062007-07-03T08:07:00.000-05:002007-07-03T08:07:00.000-05:00That's the back drop, Sage, one reason for all the...That's the back drop, <B>Sage</B>, one reason for all the turmoil.
