First, thank you so much for answering. I loved Shelby and the whole town. Since I became ill and had to give up teaching, my reading has become all the more important. I have Sjogren's Syndrome, which also affects short term memory. Some books just don't grab my interest and I read the same page over and over. Not so with Deep.. Thank you for renewing my love of reading. I'm going to begin TRF now!?!
