It took me a little while to really get into but after that i couldn't put it down! :] But if your looking for a happy story with ...

Bantam, 2002

Dream Country kept me up reading!

+ A page turner with rich character study; you want to be there.
+ A family ripped apart by tragedy finds their way back

This was the second book I read written by Rice. It was the first, SAFE HARBOR, that made me want for more! The Secret Hour is better, well, maybe not better, but written from a much different voice. Rather than go into detail about characters, location, plot, etc. - AMAZON does a great job of ...
