(as you can tell) Sadly, the author was killed in a car accident just last week. :( He has a new book out right now called The Magic Room, about a bridal salon in a small town in Michigan -- the people who work there & the women who buy the dresses. I heard about it via Kathy at Four of a Kind, & it's now in my "to-read" pile.loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-54892291016713155142012-02-22T02:18:38.851-05:002012-02-22T02:18:38.851-05:00How have I never heard of this book?!

So I am a peer, too, particularly since I do not have children with one pregnancy loss. I will have to check out the book, Iowa still has a special place in my heart.<br /><br />SandySandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14922449945274834671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-79263463275976983122009-08-28T14:01:57.948-04:002009-08-28T14:01:57.948-04:00Looks like a great find, Loribeth, especially sinc...Looks like a great find, Loribeth, especially since I, too, am a peer.<br /><br />I'd vote for it for BBBB.<br /><br />Thanks for the great writeup.Lori Lavender Luzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15394441222262940632noreply@blogger.com
