Review # 1 was written on 2007-06-03 00:00:00 Olver Capponcelli I learned a huge amount about writing from this book. In terms of the U.S. history'more things than I could discuss. Perhaps one of the stranger things I discovered was the ability to tune into another time: to discuss things with a high level of detail'detail I thought I didn't know until I fact-checked and saw that I had it right.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-05-08 00:00:00 Suzanne Gray I found it hard to know how to react to this story. I loved the simple straight forward voice of Alma and it got me in from the beginning. And I was interested in the story of Alma's relationship as she comes to live with her aunt in Cotterpin Creek. There she meets the Cleveland family and in particular their youngest son John Warren.The two form an immediate and unshakable bond. As they grow up the civil war comes. What will happen to Alma and John Warren? This contains a great deal of history which for a non American was interesting.Some of the writing is quite poetic and beautiful but at times the detailing of so much desciption pulled me out of the story. I got sick of reading about every item on the shelf in the store or every plant in the garden and its healing uses etc. I ended up skipping over pages because I wanted to get back to the story, which for me centred around Alma and John Warren. So while I liked it I didn't love it as much as I expected I might. The funny thing was my husband was the one who borrowed it from the library. In the end I read it and he didn't.
