PRODIGAL SUMMER

Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver - This is the book I chose to read last week while I helped Steve's aunt at her townhome in southern California. It was the perfect escape for the week. It's three separate stories woven together. It's about families, farming, life and death, coyotes, insects, forests and nature. Not my usual fare, but a good choice to follow Breakfast with Buddha.

California was wonderful. The sun was shining every day, I discovered the best Donuts in the world, people were happy, and there was even a street sign in the middle of a street that said "U Turn OK"! You'll never see that in Chicago.


There was also a walk up Taco Bell with picnic tables in front, just as yummy as any Taco Bell in the world.
