As Heidi said above, the description of the utter quietude and restfulness of the violet-thick hollow is amazing in its power!

(Never mind though, you snatched it first, haha) - when I was younger Grace was my favourite character for several months (I often changed) and I LOVED that part. The violet patch always stayed with me.

And story-wise, very striking -- going from all the tension where everyone's frantically hunting for Grace to that sudden, utter and complete peace of the violets carpeting the sun soaked buffalo wallow. Such an incredibly vivid moment. <br /><br />I'm so happy you chose it!! ;DHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490510027723603021.post-48215858866495165482015-05-28T08:40:21.605-07:002015-05-28T08:40:21.605-07:00BTW, are you still thinking of writing a guest pos...BTW, are you still thinking of writing a guest post about Meg for the read-along?

And everyone was frantic because they thought she fell in the well or the creek or something, but really she found a violet wonderland.<br /><br />I love violets. I told my husband how, when I was a teen, I dug up every violet I could find and made a little bed of them under my bedroom window. He vowed to buy violet seeds and sow them in our lawn. Holding him to that!!!Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
