“If you are looking for a good book to read by the lake I just finished “Another Glass of Tea” by Katherine Ward. … It is very well written, the characters are created to such a high degree you can’t help but get invested in them, and the story line is so compelling you find yourself reading into the wee hours of the morning to find out what’s going to happen. That’s all I will say because I don’t want to spoil anything for someone who chooses to read this book. I will tell you that it’s well worth the read. ~Mary Stiver (via Bobcaygeon Community Facebook Group)
