User reviews
Her salvation comes when she gets sent to the Warm Springs Foundation for physical therapy, and just as importantly, the emotional therapy of being with other people who have suffered the same ordeal she has. Warm Springs seems too good to be true for Anne Fay, a poor farm girl.
Her happy time there comes to an abrupt end when her good friend and neighbor, Junior Bledsoe, shows up unannounced to let her know that her father has, at least a couple of times, hurt her mother.
Fabulous book, but do read "Blue" first.
