Charming submitted by mickplu on August 7, 2017, 2:52pm A grandmother, her daughter, and granddaughter all gather at the grandmother's cabin in Michigan to rekindle memories. The memories are supplied by the charm bracelet worn by the grandmother and each is comforting and homey as a quilt. Loved the Michigan setting and charm bracelet theme. How can that not remind you of your grandma

Unrealistic submitted by pamhockey25 on August 8, 2022, 4:42pm Set in Michigan, this book is pretty far fetched. The author is a man, who is writing under a women's name and I didn't feel like the characters were very realistic.
