I was pleasantly surprised after reading this title. It is a great book all on its own but I have a funny little quirk that if I am familiar with an author then somehow I have lower expectations. Silly me. The book was all that a historical fiction should be. Additionally, it covered a time that I've read very little about. This book takes place after WWII and shows the effects that the war had on a family in California.
