Fly Away (St. Martins)

Read Melinda Bargreen's review in The Seattle Times

"Pacific Northwest readers will particularly enjoy the ability of Hannah, who divides her time between Washington state and Hawaii, to set an authentically local scene, from the farms of Snohomish to the streets and sounds and foods of Seattle."
