It's all about friendships. There's no dead body, but there's definitely a "mystery" to be solved.Joanna Campbell Slan has done what I would not have thought possible. She has told two exciting stories connected by the friendship of Kiki Lowenstein and Cara Mia Delgatto managing in the end to make them one story. Hopping back and forth between St Louis and Stuart Florida she tells the tale. Kiki (in St Louis) is staying at the hospital with her sick child. Cara Mia (in Stuart, Florida) is working to keep her fledgling antiques and collectibles shop going strong through the holidays. And between them they work to help a battered wife escape the danger of her angry husband. And ultimately it's all about friendshiips.There is excellent information thrown in for good measure. Hanuka is fast approaching and the casual discussions of the meaning of the holiday are excellent. Explanations of how women's shelters and resettlement tasks work was intriguing. And, of course, I personally love the suggestions for crafting holiday decorations.
