The Twenty-Fourth of June: Midsummer's Day

"I love this book. It may be my favorite book of all partly because it was on the twenty-fourth of June, 1917, that my mother, Helen, was born. The book I read during my girlhood is the frayed and worn book given to her when she was a child and which she gave me to read while I was growing into a teenager. She died in September, 1988. Just inside the cover is her maiden name, written in ink by her own exquisite hand. On the flyleaf is the inscription "To Helen from Aunt Linda". This is a "period piece", a tender love story of the kind rarely seen anymore. Rereading it as a woman nearing 60, I can clearly see this book's influence on the direction my life has taken and on my core values. "

I think the shipping and customer service is great. I bought this book as a gift for my mom and I don't think she has read it yet.
