I understand that not everyone enjoys the same thing, but that also means what one person considers a waste of time, another person considers valuable. I have no way of answering your question without understanding what you value.(less)

For the author: would you consider releasing Blue Skies and Stormy Seas under a separate cover? Martha's captivating stories were the highlight of this novel. I'd happily read a whole book of them.

Maybe Zelda kept a copy for herself that Martha will inherit (although, I'm sure Gina will want to keep one as well). (less)

I enjoyed this book for its feel-good qualities and the storytelling was enjoyable. As this is my first by this author, what would be recommended for a second book by Patrick?
