Imagine being allowed to peep into the private letters of a famous author as she writes to her publisher, her best friend and confidant, and to a newly found group of islanders who endured German occupation during WWll. Sometimes hilarious, often heart wrenching, these letters hold nothing back as they expose the most intimate thoughts and prayers of a unique and highly diverse people. What an awesome way to absorb history and have a great romp at the same time.
Read carefully and you might get an invitation to this very special society. Appropriate for young adult to old age, the book can be found at Barnes and Noble (or borrowed from Becky Simpson).

This is a delightful book. Thank you, Becky, the girls loved Florida. Read this book to feel the pain and the love that sustained these islanders while never taking away their sense of humor and joie de vie.
ReplyDeleteDoes Becky have a waiting list or should I just head out to Barnes & Noble?
