During Word War II, a family finds life turned upside down when the government opens a Japanese internment camp in their small Colorado town. After a young girl is murdered, all eyes (and suspicions) turn to the newcomers, the interlopers, the strangers.

This is her town as Rennie Stroud has never seen it before. She has just turned thirteen and, until this time, life has pretty much been what her father told her it should be: predictable and fair. But now the winds of change are coming and, with them, a shift in her perspective. And Rennie will discover secrets that can destroy even the most sacred things.

Part thriller, part historical novel, Tallgrass is a riveting exploration of the darkest---and best---parts of the human heart.

This was waiting in my mailbox when I returned home tonight. Thank you for sending it so quickly. I'm looking forward to reading it.

I shared this book with my mother-in-law and she brought it back with a high recommendation. I thoroughly enjoyed it -- in fact, I flew through it in just two days because I could hardly bear to put it down. Now it's headed to another BookCrosser.

Mailed to AceofHearts who won it in February's YBS.

received in the mail today. Thanks!!

My mom, AceofHearts, passed away from breast cancer on September 17, 2013. Aside from being one of the best people I know, she was an avid reader and took immense pleasure in Bookcrossing, her book club, and reading many great books. Unfortunately she didn't get around to reading this book.

We had similar tastes in books and would share them whenever we read something we enjoyed. This book sounds interesting and has good recommendations from Cheesy and Elsi so I will keep it to read.
