Having read all of Dorothea Benton Frank's books, I must say Land of Mango Sunsets is my favorite. I found time this weekend to open and start reading the book, and could NOT put it down. I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love with the characters. I will be recommending this book to all my family and friends...I would love to thank the author for this tremendous book and the wonderful journey I experienced reading it.
