I'd like to introduce Follow Me by Joanna Scott.
Thank you Miriam from Hachette for my review copy and Hosting this tour.
Book Description:
On a summer day in 1946 Sally Werner, the precocious young daughter of hardscrabble
Boldly rendered and beautifully told, in FOLLOW ME Joanna Scott has crafted a paean to the American tradition of re-invention and a sweeping saga of timeless and tender storytelling.
About the Author:

A recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Lannan Award, she lives with her family in upstate New York.
My Review: Coming soon!!! I confess to being only 175 pages into the book. I will be featuring my full review later this week. So I will say so far into the book I am enjoying the story and the writing is very captivating at times. I am on the fence as to what is going to happen in the story and whether as of yet I can sympathize and relate to Sally. I am so eager to hear what others are saying. And one thing I can say for sure is that I know I will finish this book because I have to know where it is going and what is going to happen. That is a good thing right?

I admire your honesty over not finishing this book. It happens to the best of us :) I look forward to your review later this week. The cover is just gorgeous on this one.
Thanks Ti... I can't wait to finish and put in my two cents. I always have a lot of "cents" to throw in. I love the cover also. There is a lot of scenery and description in the writing of the book. For me it really ties in with the nature scene on the cover.
The second half of the book goes much faster then the first, so you should finish it soon.
Kathy is right. You will fly through the second part. Love the word captivating to describe it.
Left an award for you at my place...stop by and get it!
