While Claudia Burney is a great writer-uses language beautifully and creates interesting people and situations-I found the book a little too religious for me. Lots of quotes from the Bible.

There's quite a few here that intrigue me.Carleen Bricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433203126527081458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908605519309482853.post-18197847199180484642009-02-11T14:07:00.000-07:002009-02-11T14:07:00.000-07:00What an interesting list!
