(This is a three-and-a-half star book for me, but I bumped it up to four because I know how hard books are to write!)Author Williams does an excellent job of place and time as she depicts a summer on the East Coast in the 1960s. Tiny Little Thing is a story of power and family, broken trust and secr...

Quite possibly the best Beatriz Williams novel yet. I fell in love with all the characters and felt drawn into their lives. I felt their sorrows and celebrated their joys. This one kept me up reading very late, as I could not put this book down. The ending was one of the best.
