I live in Los Angeles, CA with my husband and daughter, where I teach writing at UCLA. In addition to writing, I'm reading some wonderful nonfiction books these days (My Life in France by Julia Child is my favorite of the bunch!) and I'm training for a half-marathon this fall. I also love to bake pies. Raspberry. Blueberry. Peach. Yum. This is only miraculous because I essentially grew up in a microwave. Because of this, I am interested in all things old and outdated. I love to think about hope chests and house dresses. Sideboards are big ones, too. I'm always on the brink of trying to put up jam like my great grandmother used to do. The Bird Sisters is my first novel. Evergreen is my second. Visit me at http://rebecca-rasmussen.com

This book is very quiet, and a little slow, but it has some payoff. I liked it, but if my mom hadn't recommended it, I'm not sure I would have stayed with it. I just couldn't figure out where it was going. The end was very bittersweet, though. 3.5 stars.
Lovely story of two sisters and the summer that changed their lives forever in a small town in Wisconsin.
