If you enjoy a great 'who dunnit' mystery, you will enjoy this story. Couple that with it is written by Sandra Dallas, and you've got a winner.
Set in Denver Colorado 1800s, The story draws you in from the start, and it is very difficult to stop listening. It's one of those stories that you find yourself thinking about throughout the day and can't stop thinking about after you've finished.

This story drew me in immediately, and I witnessed, through the eyes of LaVinia and Belle what life was like on this Virginia Plantation. The story touched my heart and still lives in my mind. The narration is superb.

Not my favorite Elm Creeks Quilts novel
Reviewed: 07-19-12
What did you like best about Sonoma Rose? What did you like least?
I enjoyed the history and the description of setting very much. I got tired of the character, Rosa; while she is protrayed as a strong female character, you never really see her get angry. She thinks fast and puts her children first but other than that, I see her as very passive and got tired of hearing her voice.
What about Christina Moore’s performance did you like?
Christina Moore does a good job with the characters, and showing their emotions the way she does helps the reader to actually feel the way they do.
Was Sonoma Rose worth the listening time?
I'm about half-way through and very bored with it. I haven't decided if I want to finish or not. I have always enjoyed Jennifer Chiaverini's novels so probably should see it through to the end.
