And I would think I'd remember such a great title.<br /><br />And thanks for the warning on the grittiness. I wondered why it wasn't YA when I read the character's age, but after your description I think I may have figured it out.Caryn Caldwellhttp://www.caryncaldwell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-72090320784480338282015-05-23T18:01:52.753-07:002015-05-23T18:01:52.753-07:00I'm not much for gritty in the city, and would...I'm not much for gritty in the city, and would rather have a nice romance or nature adventure story.

It does sounds rather wonderful. My book also has characters who come from the mean streets. I think that we all need some grit to exercise our empathy -- especially if we are fortunate enough to come from cushier circumstances.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-65060855193312563992015-05-06T06:23:26.140-07:002015-05-06T06:23:26.140-07:00Most interesting review, Barrie.

Stories of lost children leave me depressed. Tarts book though was both very well written & gritty....troutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461076427066534397.post-24146345488293811102015-05-06T06:13:50.584-07:002015-05-06T06:13:50.584-07:00Have a great summer, Barrie!
