pickA poignant and beautiful family drama that shows the young protagonists have an unlikely love story and build a family of four daughters while the father builds his doctoral career and the mom stays at home, by circumstances and not choice, to navigate life together. The intricacies of siblings is revealed to the reader with a captivating story on how relationships form our outlook on life. This may not be for everyone, but it was for me!!

pickI love anything by this author. Set in Washington state the Grey family sisters need to protect their ranch, need to find themselves after the loss of their mother, and need to find what makes each of themselves happy. Horses and love and the Innocence Project.
They would repeat it for years to come in times of strife: the most fun I've ever had.

Listened while I took a walk this morning and I'm super exhausted now🙄
Does anyone else love Sarah addison Allen as much as I do? In some ways she gave me sanity….I was feeling stressed and depressed with 2 very young children and saw a copy of Garden Spells - at the grocery store! It was an absolute total splurge for me at that time. But i remember reading it and the escape lightened my mood and gave me a much needed break. Anyone else have a book that really helped you through a hard time?
pickMrs. Becker is marrying the Sweet Valley librarian, Mr. Otis and the second grade class is all chipping in to give her a present (that Lois Waller found in a catalogue!). Elizabeth convinces her sister that they need to earn the $2 each to chip in— but Jessica doesn‘t help… plus she really wants glow-in-the-dark bracelets like Lila Fowler. This is just so classic in terms of their dynamic throughout the series! Plus, Todd Wilkins steps up here!
