Pretty good

This is Rosa's story. It goes back in forth between her past and present. Page Turner. I finished it pretty quickly.

FAVORITE book! Have read over 4 times.

I read Sonoma Rose first out of any of the series. It is a book you just cant put down. So much suspense, triumph, murder, mobsters, death, bootleggers etc. Everything is in this book. Im 26 and have read it 4 times and my grandmother also enjoys it! It speaks to a wide variety. You follow Rose Barclay and her children and husbands story. Some of their children pass away due to illnesses and john will not promit them to leave the valley to find a more knowledgeable doctor. Then her and her kids go on the run with a few surprises she found and took along when Lars comes for them and then follow how they excape and change their identities and all the challenges they face. WONDERFUL story. P.s i just found out you follow rosa and elizabeth and her husband henry in the quilters homecoming before this book takes place. It also touches on their friendship and how they thought they were buying a ranch but were dooped. I cant wait to go back and read about before snoma rose as well!
