2015: fun to listen the second time, although I read some in the middle

2013: This sequel to "The Saddlemaker's Wife" is touching. Ruby returns to Cardinal a year later with her troubled brother, Nash, and rekindles her friendships with the people in town. They try to help her and Nash, but as his problems escalate she decides she must seek out the mother who abandoned them as children and ask for her help. The novel has Fowler's signature touch of the pitfalls and beauty in family relationships and how they affect us. Ruby, Lucas, Ely, and Cassie all find some happiness in this novel and even though it seems to end pretty completely, I wouldn't mind another sequel.
