Ciji Ware's Cotta...Nice balanced review, Staci. Ciji Ware's Cottage By the Sea was fantastic and I am currently enjoying her wonderful Island of the Swans.....Midnight on Julia Street, in my opinion, wasn't her best, but still the historical background and storyline about the free people of color was interesting. <br /><br />P.S. Is Daisy your new baby? Precious!! When we got our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel three years ago I SO wanted a girl puppy to name Daisy (I wanted a little dog collar with a daisy on it...cute, huh?) We wound up with a little boy pup and the kids chose "Buddy".....so Buddy it is. :)Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07716758796036142540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-5058457405171870262011-09-13T10:24:49.078-04:002011-09-13T10:24:49.078-04:00Now I'm a bit torn as to whether or not I shou...Now I'm a bit torn as to whether or not I should read this one.

It seems a lot of people in the south call others "Hon" but in everyday life it doesn't seem annoying. That's just the way it is.
