“Henry looked up and down the empty avenue—no cars or trucks anywhere. No bicycles. No paperboys. No fruit sellers or fish buyers. No flower carts or noodle stands. The streets were vacant, empty—the way he felt inside. There was no one left.”
OK so the library card is renewed... But I ended up with 2 new books on my TBR...
This veered occasionally to soap opera “territory” but would always pull itself back. I liked the author‘s use of history, family research, and her imagination to craft an interesting and enjoyable story. This was a Seattle without Starbucks!

Library hold came in! Just started and already sucked right in!
pickFrom Scotland to the state of Washington in the 1800s.
The McIntyres fled Scotland and their life of luxury to a life of poverty, struggles, grief, and heartbreak.
Heartache and history in this beautifully written book with great descriptions of the lives of the characters and the setting.
Lots of sweet characters, but of course there has to be one villain. 5/5
