Customer Reviews

You will enjoy this book!

A delightful read! The author recaptures a time gone by and crafts a memorable tale as well. I am so glad she wrote another book after her first one, Still Waters. I hope there are many more to come!

Real life experiences led to the publication of this book

Based on facts gleaned from her mother's experiences as a teacher in the 1920's, Gutteridge has written a story describing the period in all of its glory; bitter mid-west winters, small town charm, pre-electric farm life, and party line telephones. Crossed Fingers, the most recent installment in the Anna Swenson chronicles, delves into a mystery that keeps everyone guessing. What does it mean when a woman dies with her fingers crossed? Anna is convinced it is a message, or a sign of something sinister in the small towm of Grabney, Iowa. Crossed Fingers is a fascinating read!
