My take: I picked this book up to read a chapter or two, and I literally did not put it down until I had finished it. I was completely drawn in to the lives of the characters and into the storyline. The story takes place in 1965, and I'm not sure I've read much set in that time period, except some civil rights protest types of books.
This did present some of the big issues of the day, namely racism and the Vietnam War. It also dealt with issues like parents being able to direct the education of their children. But while those things were important, really, this was just a great story. The characters felt like real people, the places felt real. One of the publisher's statements that really resonates with me after reading the book is "a multifaceted story about complex people living the simple life."
I immediately put the first book in the Lancaster Secrets series on hold at my library.
