Youth were running wild through the neighborhood, seemingly unstoppable.
Her own house had been burglarized and her sister had been terribly traumatized by a group of youth who had destroyed her garden.
They even destroyed her favorite tree.
How were Hannah and the other residents of Walnut Close to defend against such a menace if the authorities seemed impotent in this task? The Silver Bees offered a suggestion, but this suggestion carried a terrible price of its own.
Only at the end of this book will the reader find out, maybe.
If a reader is looking for a book with a lot of action told at a fast pace with immediate shock and gratification then this book is not the one to pick up and read.
Ms Jerrold has crafted a slow moving, yet engrossing tale of the changes and experiences one encounters in life told mainly through the viewpoint of Hannah, a widowed, retired teacher.
The reader will learn of Hannah's life through flashbacks that have a direct bearing on how she relates to the present.
This book comes to the reader highly recommended because of its very nature.
It's a well written story that moves at a steady pace towards the end.
So few books written today can do this without the gimmicks of gore and gratuitous sex.
This one succeeds admirably and is a credit to the author's skill and talent.
Yvonne Jerrold is an already published author of other novels and short stories.
It is hoped that this is not the last in a burgeoning career of excellence.
