Hello Susan,

Looks like we had similar feelings about the ending. I haven't gone looking
for the next book in the series 'cause of that. I think I remember reading a
positive endorsement of 'A Letter of Mary' here in the echo. Probably from 
he
indubitable Suzze.  That gal is always about 3 books ahead it seems! :)
 SB> Hope it's been due to your having lots of fun stuff to read or
Unfortunately my absence had more to do with a heavy workload and hectic
travel schedule over the winter. Work will lessen a bit for the summer, but I
have committed myself to a heavy volunteer schedule for Habitat for Humanity
this summer, and that will eat up a lot of my 'spare' time.
 SB> that RW> really stands out, except for my current one, 'The Music of

I also passed over them a number of times due to the titles, but I'm glad

I finally took the plunge and read them. Have you ever read any of Dana
Stabenow's Kate Shugak series? I found the two series similar in many 
spects,
and both enjoyable. I was able to identify with and recognize a lot of the 
tt
itudes and the general atmosphere, from my travels and work in Northern
Alberta and B.C.
I have just started a John Grisham book, 'The Runaway Jury'. I really don't
like Grisham as a writer; talk about not being able to plot an ending, or
concoct a realistic plot...  This book was left at my house by a guest, who
said I should give it a try.  So far I'm about 50 pages into it and it's OK,
but not a real grabber, and certainly doesn't live up to the gushing praise 
f
the flyleaf comments. But then, when did a book ever live up to that kind of
sycophantic verbage.
Type at ya later,
