To a person, we love Barbara O'Neal's books. And we loved her books when she was Barbara Samuel. All of them speak to us as women, and to our lives. Because the setting of almost all of them is Colorado, and Northern New Mexico, we also enjoy revisiting the places we know and love! Her last 3 books under the Barbara O'Neal name have the added bonus of some excellent and unusual recipes! We had Barbara at our meeting and the discussion was lively, informative, and candid--Loved it!

Love the correlation between bread making and a woman's life. Very insightful, and thought provoking. Makes a good romantic story, while still showing how difficult real life can be.
