A beautiful story of two families in a small Rhode Island that spans seventy years. The central character Etta is an illustrator and honors student who had a future ahead of her, only to choose another path because of love. It was the same path her mother had chosen a generation earlier: heart over future.
There are other characters and secrets to keep that lead to lifelong misunderstandings – people who mean well but because their assumptions are wrong, ruin everything. The story is wonderful but heartbreaking because it underlines the need for clear communication and being upfront about a skeleton or two in a closet.
Ms. Pasco is a favorite author of mine. I like the portrayals of New England life and the great humanity her writing displays. Family drama? You won’t want to miss Etta’s Fishing Ground.
Kimberly has gone from a well-paid female executive one minute to a desperate woman the next. Thinking her day can't possibly get any worse, she finds out how wrong she is when she goes home. The only way to set things straight is to get even.
