We went on our vacation with Wilbert's family and have returned. And we forgot the camera. Bummer. So, hopefully soon I will get some pictures from the other family members so I can post a bit about what we did. It doesn't really do it justice without pictures. But we had a great time and saw some awesome parts of creation. The next time we head the east coast it will be with a big trailer behind us as we move. Keep praying for that paper work to come through soon and for our house here to sell as well.
When Minerva Jane Jenkins was just fourteen years old, she married a man who moved her to the mountains. He carried with him a small box, which he told her held gold. And when he died fifty years later, he made her promise to tell no one about the box or the treasure it contained. Now at ninety-four, Minerva is nearing the end of what has sometimes been a lonely life. But she's kept her promise. Even so, rumors of hidden gold have a way of spreading, and Minerva is visited by a reporter, Del Rankin, who wants to know more of her story. As an unlikely friendship develops, Minerva is tempted to reveal her secret to Del. But the truth of what's really buried in the box may be hidden even from her. I really enjoyed this book. It is quality historical fiction with a strong narrative voice. I really liked the characters and it was interesting to see how all of the secrets they carried with them affected them. I enjoyed the relationships between the characters and how the setting was
