Emily Kaufman was the girl growing up in Manhattan in the fifties and sixties. In the sixties and seventies, I attended Clark University and lived in San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Seattle doing the hippie/peace/love/protest thing.
In the eighties and nineties, Emily Saur lived in Northampton, MA and Davis, CA and was the more conventional wife, mother of two, and elementary school teacher.
In 2006, I retired from teaching and became Emily Gallo when I married David, a professor of economics, and moved to Chico, CA to continue our journey. I started writing screenplays and television and moved into novels. David, Gracie (our Schillerhound), Savali (our cat) and I now divide our time between two and a half acres of gardens, orchards in Chico and a 750 square foot condo on the beach in Carpinteria, CA.

Good Read
This was a good story that had good Characters and also is a story that stands on it's own merritt. I would recommend this book to others that also like series it continues with her other books.

very absorbing characters, good plot line; but the book should have ended sooner; It dragged on after the central story was told.

A boring and pedantic style of narration that drove me crazy. The story was not very interesting. The characters were flat. There are many better books out there.
