He is not only friendly but very informative about the history of the town. Desire during the Depression Sandra Brown has always been one of my favorite authors so I took a chance on reading a book set during the Great Depression. Who else could have woven such a beautiful love story while giving so many horrible incidents that could have happened during that period in history.There was only a hint of the big surprise in the epilogue.. Christine Sanford said What a story!. One of the best books I've read in a long time. The characters were beautifully brought to life with the description of their physical and spiritual essence. The story took so many different twist and turns that I couldn't put it down. Literally right up until the last page. It was a great read and I would highly recommend it
