It may be to late for this review because I am behind on emails----however---just recently I received some photographs with names and dates----as a result---I joined Ancestry.com and all my waking hours have been spent on finding family members from the past that I knew nothing about----so when I opened the download and read the chapter---I knew the book was meant for me to read....I grew up in this time period----sometimes reading a fictional book makes it easier to revisit a time......I knew from the start that I would enjoy the characters---- knew that I would love the elderly Mr. Rich and could already see sparks between his son and Elizabeth---even if I don't win----the book is on my to buy list----
