Rebecca Wells is the author of the Ya-Ya books. I did like those books but I can’t say I loved them. They seemed a bit disconnected from my reality. This one is too but somehow it spoke to me more. I loved it. It made me contemplate the way I live my life, in the context of how Calla does. She lives such an authentic life (to borrow from Oprah) and she is so true and open and honest. That is something I need to work on and this book was a timely reminder. Its also a good balance of drama, personal insight and life lessons with believable characters and charming scenery.
