Punainen puutarha Tekijä: Alice Hoffman
Oikeastaan tämä on kokoelma kertomuksia Bearsvillestä, joka muutti nimensä Blackwelliksi. Jokainen luku on oma tarinansa saman kaupungin henkilöistä 1792 vuodesta lähtien nykypäivään (14 tarinaa). Monenlaisia ihmiskohtaloita ja tapahtumia, kivasti kirjoitettu.
