This review is from: Chickadee (Harper Monogram) (Mass Market Paperback)
Sarah Hayden left Spring valley, Wyoming, in the early summer to enter college. She was almost 18 and pregnant, hence the early departure. Unaware of her condition, her parents were hurt, but tolerant. Her childhood sweetheart, Jim Roice, was confused by her insistence on leaving when everyone had expected their wedding for years. Not knowing what exactly, Sarah nevertheless wanted something more than the life she'd known in this small town. She quietly, secretly arranged for the adoption of her baby and left.Ten years later, she returns for the funeral of her father and discovers that, in the way of small towns everywhere, not much has changed. Her old love Jim has married another local girl, Victoria Tayloe, and they have an adopted son, Charlie, fondly called Chickadee. Vic's inability to conceive her own child causes difficulties in her marriage and in her ability to relate to Charlie. The author lived in Wyoming for many years (and may still do) and her love for the country is obvious in every description of scenery and seasonal change, and the slow pace of an isolated country town is described to perfection. Perhaps that is why the adult characters have a maturity not usually found in one's mid-to-late twenties, making frequent references to 'at my age'. Everything is tied up neatly at the end, making this a good if lightweight, but entertaining companion for an afternoon at the beach.
