Reading this book made me also long for the Central Florida of the past, even though I've never spent more than a week in Florida.

Anne Hull's descriptions of the orange groves and the small towns peppered through the central column of the Sunshine State drew me in and placed me there, especially in that roadside stand - standing on the dirt floor, surrounded by the rattle of the fruit washer and smelling the overpowering orange blossoms perfuming the air. Through the Groves was a captivating, heartwrenching, emotional read from the very beginning to the very last page. I can't wait to read more from Anne Hull.

Thank you to Henry Holt & Co. for the ARC and the chance to read this great book!
