The book is written crudely, as if the man who had never before written anything for public, had decided to try his pen... And not a woman-writer with some skill and some warm heart with feelings inside. There are many a stylistical and grammatical errors, too, unfortunately. I wanted to stop reading the book on a first 10 pages, but struck out to read on. The story itself is quite interesting, though the main character (Margaret-or for short-Maggie) is too needy and whines all the time, which is annoying, to say the least. Her friend's name Jaycee is out of wack and bothersome... And it is hard to envision Maggie as a living being. While the character of Cal Jones is steady, wholesome, promising and charming, despite his unusual upbringing and family's tragedy. So decide for yourself to read or not to read.

An interesting book, full of description of everyday fruits and vegetables, their roots and history, some interesting recipes and great advice for those who want to feed themselves and their families healthier. Food for all ages including the little ones. I recommend it to all.

The book is not based on factual data, facts or real happenings. Otherwise there would be asteric ** signs referring to legitimate sources. Which are non-existent in this "work". It's overall boring, repetitive and totally one-sided. I do not recommend this Fiction to anyone, in any side of politics.

I am just beginning to read this and finding the narrative extremely not interesting, style and writing incompetent and having too many grammatical errors, as well. As if the book wasn't worked on by a professional editor....The plot, described on the jacket of the book, promises so much interest and adventure, but so far delivers none... The story line gets better towards the middle of the novel, though and ends well, with sad and good notes when the couple is in their late years...But I still do not recommend it. I am reading the Hardback copy of it.

A very special lady lives alone in a mansion where she is cared for by two servants whom she hired a very long time ago...When she was struck by a tragedy- an untimely death of her young son. Since then for over fourteen years former movie star and a wonderful human being, Meredith White, didn't show outside her home even once, choosing this secluded lonely way of living for herself. Then one day Sacramento in North California is hit by massive earthquake...And while her mansion is not harmed, other houses on her street are all damaged to some extent. Meredith opens her doors immediately without a moment of hesitation to all of them...and the new journey begins. Some of them easy and vibrant, and some- are hard to stomach and understand. But at the end, the friendships form and the earthquake, human and in nature pass. I recommend this novel to all, especially - to women in bad relationships.
