Loved this book! Olivia pieces together her life from many mysteries--her absent father who she thought was dead, her distant mother who spent most of her childhood in an asylum, her absent daughter and her ever-present grandson, and her first love who lives in town, and her relationship with the black community in her town. i hope there is a sequel!

Sweeping Up Glass by Carolyn Wall is a depression era novel of rural Kentucky. It describes the struggles of good hardworking people and some very evil people who manipulate the town in the background. There is unconditional love between most of the characters, but some of the characters are truly vile. I loved the descriptions of the life the characters lived, something most of us can never truly comprehend. Plenty of mystery, thrills and action. Light overcomes the darkness.

Really enjoyed reading when Clea was a child. Couldn't stand it when she was an adult. The 2nd half reads like christian fiction all wrapped up in a pretty pink bow.

A great story, and a fabulous reader. I think I enjoyed this book more on tape than I would have if I'd read it.
