Gemstone by Barbara Delinsky

[Hannah]

I came across a copy of Gemstone at my local bookseller. I loved it! Family Tree is also a favorite of mine. Barbara Delinsky creates characters that fly off the pages of each book and appear right before our eyes like real people. I felt like an intruder in Jeff and Sara's story!

Great, Hannah! That's always my goal -- making characters so real that readers can't let go. I'm always glad to know when it works.
