review 1: This was so good I have never read TKAM, but I went right out and picked it up. I feel I already know the characters. Ms. Lee worked hard on this book and although we don't have any more books published by her I feel she is out there still writing and is an inspiration to us all.Way to go Kerry for keeping this author realistic and interesting even though she wouldn't give an interview. seems like she has said all she wants to say on this topic.
