I noticed the Feb 6, 1900 entry in my grandmother's Excelsior Diary mentions reading Tempest and Sunshine so I'd see if I could find it online. My grandmother was 18 on the 20th of that month. Here's the full entry: "Took my silk dress down for Mrs. Hilderbrand to make. Started to read a new book called "Tempest and Sunshine" like it very much."
I just read this book and think it was a great story. I loved it and think that it was a great story. I'm trying to read more books by this lady. she took me to all my hights I got mad, then I got sad, then I was shocked, then I was happy, and then It had me guessing about what has happen to everyone Thanks for the thrill and the adventure.
