I think I've read one. Those books are not usually my cup of tea as most of them are romance type novels. A good friend has also recommended this book to me. She thinks I'd like it, too. I may add it to my stack of books I have yet to read. Which is getting more like a tower than a stack.

We just read "The Cigar Factory" by Michelle Moore, so we took a field trip down to the Holy City - took a Gullah tour, went by the real cigar factory, had lunch at Blossom. A very nice day! You should read the book...
