Set in the remote woods of Pennsylvania's Blue Ridge Mountains, this book centers on a young woman who has secluded herself from the world to recover from a past trauma. A foreigner mysteriously shows up in the area; he also seems traumatized and haunted by his past. Although their lives seem as bleak as the winter woods setting, a mutual understanding creates a tenuous friendship between them. Disturbing truths revealed at the end were difficult to fathom and highlighted the extent to which humans can hurt each other. I was absorbed by this book; it wasn't a joyful read but was worthwhile.

Nice colors

Great book!

Love trucks

Reads like Huck Finn fan fiction but from James perspective, reminiscent of the book Black Beauty.

The first and my favorite of her neopolitan stories, the inception of the friendship between two young women, brilliant in different ways

I like this book because it's funny.

When they did the snowball fighting that was my favorite part

I enjoyed the humor and levity in this book, a nice change from my usual fare of heavy historical fiction. Set in Tuscany in a beautiful village that is suffering in its old age, this book features a colorful cast of quirky, lovable characters. Through a series of hardships and antics, the villagers come to understand that the love and harmony between them are their greatest treasures.

It is about a babysitter named Mary Ann and she has a crush on a boy named Logan. He likes her to. He wants to join the babysitters club but he can't because he has babysit his siblings on the meeting days.
