The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom {Book Club Selection}
Monica in Been Around the Blog - 3 comments - posted on Jun 16th, 2013I have recently started reading The Kitchen House by fellow Canadian, Kathleen Grissom; it is our book club selection for the month of June.

Book Synopsis ~ In 1790, Lavinia, a seven-year-old Irish orphan with no memory of her past, arrives on a … Continue reading
