Description:
|
At seventeen, Victoria Nash is already shackled to a life running the household and peach orchard for her troubled family, but a chance encounter with Wilson Moon promises both love and danger. Wil is Native American and in 1940's Colorado, bigotry is alive and well, and there will be no fairytale ending.
Eloquent, poignant and steeped in the rugged landscapes of the Blue Mesa Reservoir, this is a powerful coming-of-age story of love, courage and sacrifice.

Half of our members loved the book and couldn't put it down - the other half found it a bit far fetched. But all agreed there were lovely descriptions of nature. |

This book tells a story of much loss and sadness, redeemed by the beauty of life and nature. |

This was rated as one of our best reads so far. Much discussion about the characters, good and bad, how we would react to finding a baby in our cars (!!), the context of the soft/sweet peaches in such a harsh reality, the jarring ending. The naive love of an isolated girl for the first boy who shows her interest but at such a cost. Recommended. |
