Bang!!!

ALMOST HOME, by Valerie Fraser Luesse The setting: 1944 You are welcomed into the family (a paying guest) of Si & Dolly. They live in a beautiful house on Talamge Loop. They are close to the highway-but have their own private sanctuary. There are of course, Si and Dolly-in her grandmother's house; a single older gent who is a recent widower; and three other couples staying there for the summer. Dolly has grand ideas to make the money for their county tax bill. Si built a roller skating rink, for people to pay a nominal fee to skate. At the moment,, Si is digging out a lake, for which the public will also pay a fee to use. Dolly and Si are enjoying their renters, except for one couple they are quickly losing their patience with. One couple is there to regroup, after losing their farm-the worry has made it seem like they are two strangers living there. This is a very nice book, where as a new-comer, you are made to feel like YOU are ALMOST HOME.
