Description
An essential American novel from Sandra Dallas, an unparalleled writer of our history, and our deepest emotions...
During World War II, a family finds life turned upside down when the government opens a Japanese internment camp in their small Colorado town. After a young girl is murdered, all eyes (and suspicions) turn to the newcomers, the interlopers, the strangers.
This is Tallgrass as Rennie Stroud has never seen it before. She has just turned thirteen and, until this time, life has pretty much been what her father told her it should be: predictable and fair. But now the winds of change are coming and, with them, a shift in her perspective. And Rennie will discover secrets that can destroy even the most sacred things.
Part thriller, part historical novel, Tallgrass is a riveting exploration of the darkest--and best--parts of the human heart.

Tall Grass
3By cc3366The book was good. I was surprised by all the typos in the iBook. There was a typo on almost every page. Wonder who was supposed to be doing the job of editing?Tall grass
1By wwf3lain3Interesting story, strong characters...but this ebook copy of the novel has far too many typos. It detracted from the quality of the story. I am not inclined to read any of the author's other works.Good story!
4By Bella50I really enjoyed this book. It really kept me interested. I enjoy reading about different time periods. The one complaint I have is not about the story, but about the many errors in spelling throughout the whole book. Whoever did the typing (or whatever they do) for iBooks, did a horrible job. That is one of my pet peeves for books, and it shouldn't matter that it is on iBooks or in a regular book. I don't like paying for something with so many spelling errors!
