Calico by Lee Goldberg

3.5

fast-paced

---

On several California roadtrips we’ve stopped in Barstow for coffee and a restroom break. I always wonder about people who live in that area now and who would have settled there in the past. Reading Calico transported me right back to that dusty highway (dust storms several times we’ve passed through!) and supplied an entertaining fictional dual timeline storyline 2019 & late 1800s. Overall an enjoyable summer read.
