We have three main characters here - the grandfather, an alcoholic of questionable character, a slightly off balance woman (Angie) and an impressionable young man (Darcy) who becomes mixed up in a whirlwind of events. Murder, thievery and lies keep the unsteady relationship between Darcy and Angie on edge. Keeping a secret is no easy task, especially when someone else pops into the scene with inside knowledge to the truth. Darcy, unable to control the events, becomes another person entirely from the one we knew in the first few pages of the book. Perhaps because I am a writer, and this book has to do with the publishing industry, I am partial to the theme. Grandfather's description of a writer's methods to reach their creative dreams had me laughing out loud - because it was so true. As were the frustrated, aspiring writers and the over worked publishers. I felt the book was very realistic in this regard. </span></span></p><p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#666466;font-size:9pt;font-weight:normal;">I loved the first few paragraphs - they really pulled me in. I kept hearing Humphry Bogart's voice in my head narrating the story as I read along. I sat on the edge of an uncomfortable plastic chair 2 days ago and opened the first page to begin reviewing The Little Mornings. I meant to take only a ten-minute break from my day to enjoy the sunshine. The next thing I knew, my leg and butt-cheek were both completely numb and lifeless? and I was on page 50! So be warned, readers, this book may very well take you out of commission for a few days. I could not wait to get back to it every minute I had to spare!</span><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:9pt;font-weight:normal;"></span></span></p><p></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:9pt;font-weight:normal;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"></span></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"></p><p><strong><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';"> </span></strong></p>
