A Portal to the Sixties! Darnay Road

I have heard so many amazing things about this book, Darnay Road. It’s just one of those things I hear when I’m out there virtually socializing and tweeting. People are like, “You have to read this book!” “It’s sssooooo good!!!”
It’s on my list of books to read and I will get to them eventually, dang it!! In fact, I’m quite sure I will be reading everything Diane Munier writes, because these recommendations are coming from chicks that know the type of books I like to read. Great ones!

Easy and his brother…that death separates them from the big houses on Darnay. Georgia calls her house Big White. She lives there with her Granma. Granma would…
