Book Four- In Search of Snow is a fictional novel by Luis Alberto Urrea. The main character is a hopeless romantic, stuck in the middle-of-nowhere pumping gas at his dad's gas station. The story is set in the 1950s and deals with racial tension, a struggle for independence from parents, and the desire to make a life for one's own.
Book Three- Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet is a fun romance. The book starts with Jane, the main character, as a lonely little 8-year-old girl. Her best friend in the world is her imaginary friend, a grown-man named Michael. He disappears on her 9th birthday, according to the rules of imaginary friends. However, they run into each other later when she's an adult and fall in love with each other. She has to figure out if he's real or if she is losing her mind.
Book Two- Jennifer Donnelly's The Winter Rose is the sequel to The Tea Rose. It continues the story of the first book's main characters, but adds the lives of two of her brothers and their romantic interests. My favorite part is that halfway through the book, for different reasons, several of the family members end up in British East Africa in the early 1900s. Given my interest in Africa, I find it fascinating to look at that part of the world during that time and how it became what it is now.
Book One- Jennifer Donnelly's The Tea Rose is a romantic story that takes place in London and New York at the end of the 19th century. The book addresses the poor working conditions of the lower class in London, the terror of Jack-the-Ripper, and making a new life as an immigrant in New York.
