I am a HUGE KA fan!!  I have almost all of her books, and have enjoyed them all immensely!!  I will continue to buy her books, but I am getting the idea that KA doesn't like Republicans. The first book that I really noticed it in was Motorcycle Man, when Tyra is trying to tell Kane why they are not a good fit - "My parents are both Republicans!" Said like it was a horrible thing.  I let it go. Whatever.  Now we have Golden Trail where some of the bad guys are dirty Republicans.  Rocky is also a Democrat...and a high school English teacher. There is a scene where she is talking with her students about the book To Kill A Mockingbird...she is explaining that you just don't know where another person has come from, referring to black people while she looks hard at the white students.  Unless I missed something, I hadn't read about any racism issues in the school...but maybe I was just to assume these white students were racists because they were white. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe one of her future books will include something straight out of the headlines - a Democrat that is a sexual predator.However, if I forget the whole "Republicans are evil", I can tell you that I loved Tanner. I loved his boys.  Rocky, not so much. I couldn't connect to her in any way.  This one was not my favorite in The 'Burg series, that award goes to At Peace.  I loved Vi and Joe!  Golden Trail was long and didn't seem to get anywhere fast.  And I don't say that lightly!  I love KA's long books, the reality of the relationships, and the turns they take.  This one, though, I actually had to put down and read something else, then come back to it.  It just didn't grab me, which is very unusual for a KA book.KA is a wonderful author!  She has made me laugh hard (Rock Chick) and cry hard (Fairytale Come Alive). She is awesome!  I never tell anyone not to bother reading a book, because there are lots of books that I have read and loved, and others have hated.  I did not hate this book!  It was just blah for me. I would say read it...you will probably get something different out of it then I did.
