And, the Flynn family, Patrick and Grace and their twin sons Owen and James. And, a pair of serial criminals, Blake and Sam, dangerous men.
And Britt, a young woman, running from her past and falling into a very strange community in the California desert.
And Tony, a middle aged white man, a lawyer, who appears to have a good life but finds it awfully hard to keep it all together. There is Ren, a young black man recently released from prison, determined to find his mother and make a better life for himself. We follow a cast of characters from 2006 to 2010, with the years between filled in as we read. Wonder Valley tells the story of people who live in a world so far outside my own experience that I found myself both distressed and fascinated in equal measure. Equally as good as her first, and again about a place, and people, most of us know little about. Ivy Pochoda now has a new book, Wonder Valley. You can read my review of that book on our website, written in September 2013. A few years ago a friend who lives in New York City, but summers near Parry Sound, told me about a terrific new book written by her daughter’s friend Ivy Pochoda, Visitation Street.
