for this reason, we decided to make the black hills our sole destination. the kind of place where one could take refuge... after a tiring day of picking lavender in the fields! we did discuss the book and are now reading another book from the book club in a bag program – we are all welcome here! and yes, they do have a point. i first read this many years ago, probably at the time the book was first published. in fact, when people ask “what do you eat” i have a hard time answering because i eat (and enjoy) so much!!
