Twist of Lemon

I just finished a good book and thought I would share.

Child of a Rainless Year by Jane Lindskold focuses on the character of Mira, taken from the only home she has ever known at the age of nine, after the disappearance of her mother.  Placed into foster care with a loving couple who hide what they know of her past, she grows into a skilled artists, but hides her light under a bushel, afraid that whomever made her mother disappear will come after her next.  After spending most of her adult life as an art teacher in Ohio, she moves back to the town of her birth in New Mexico to find the answer to her mother’s whereabouts.

Child of a Rainless Year is a wonderful tale of magical realism and I recommend it highly.
