UPDATE: This is one of the books included in Kathryn’s 2025 birthday bag. I saw the idea on Facebook and decided to pass it along. On her birthday Kathryn received a bag of books (second hand that I’ve pre-read) each wrapped in brown paper. The idea was that once a month (on her birthdate) she could pick a book to read. Each book included a bookmark of some sort.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t read a really good book in so long that I rushed through this one. It wasn’t necessarily one that I couldn’t put down but I was truly interested in the characters and their story.

Rebecca is a sixty-year old photography artist who had great success in her earlier years. But she has gone out of style and she has money troubles for the first time in her life. She decides to rent out her expensive New York apartment and moves to a cabin in the woods. The people she meets in the town are quirky but she comes to love her new life. The photos she takes in her new environment bring her back into the artistic spotlight.
