I've visited several Shaker villages and read much about their lifestyle and work, but this is the first thing I've read from this perspective. All Shakers weren't in the villages voluntarily. This is a very interesting fictional account of this period in Kentucky. I also enjoyed the other two books in this series (which are not about the Shakers).

This is certainly not my favorite Picoult book. The chapters alternate in time between past and present, a common technique these days which bothers me. The story line was interesting but, as often occurs in Picoult books, I was not at all prepared for the ending. I didn't feel she lives up to her usual excellence in this book.


Let's Try Real Food, A Practical Guide to Nutrition and Good Health
Review Date: 1/26/2009
Helpful Score: 1


What we eat directly affects our health: physical, mental, and emotional. Most of us believe what we eat is nutritious. But increasing scientific evidence demonstrates that much of our basic food is not nutritious---some of it is even damaging to our health.

Our nutritional illiteracy and the depleted condition of much of our daily food indeed contributes to the lack of energy, chronic discomfortws, internal disorders, and mental difficulties which afflict increasing numbers of Americans.

Poignant description of dementia and its effect on caregivers. I loved this well-written book by an author who should write many more.

Sometimes series cannot go this long without being repetitious, but this is an exception. Very interesting, well-written story.
