I'd like to know more about this book. The dialogue in your excerpt sounds realistic -- like a couple of kids talking. I like that.

LOL There' s a Circle C Ranch near my home, that is also a childrens' weekend program. That was my first connection when I saw the cover and title. :-)

I was also a worshiper, set wandering in an unfamiliar land."   It seems this week I have been driven to write about my mother. It has happened more than once. Here she is again. Tapping my shoulder a reminder that she loved blue. There is the one and only photo of her where she wears a dress of blue. The photo was taken years and years ago.
