Elizabeth Crook

Sometimes a book surprises me. I may be a little interested in it, nothing more, and then as I'm reading, find I have hit upon something real and true, something so riveting, I can't put it down. That's a ''Good Read.'' No, a grand read. That's this novel.

In the 1890's, Meg's great-grandmother Hannah Bass wrote revealing, honest diaries about her life on the southwestern frontier. Hannah's daughter Bassie published these journals and made a name for herself as an historian. But Meg, in an act of rebellion, has never even read them. Then bossy Bassie insists that Meg accompany her to New Mexico to excavate a grave near the house where Hannah lived. What they find turns the family history upside down, and Meg can't help but get involved. One reviewer said this novel was ''near perfect'' and I agree. If perfect means getting so close to characters, you feel as if you are family, or being so hooked as the plot twists and turns that you forget to feed the children supper. I love the lineage of strong women in this tale, the depth of emotion, and the unsparing details that make it so real. I relish the fact that there are at least three love stories. And that life has a much greater mystery in store for us all than we could ever hope to imagine or understand. Read this epic, and you will know history, the power of land to transform, and the power of love to make sense of it all.
