Review:

"A Spear of Summer Grass" by Deanna Raybourn was a good read of how this 'wild one' was banished to Africa by her family.  Delilah Drummond was only thirty. Twice widowed and divorced once...and because of what had happened to her latest husband's death her month being so upset with her exiles her to Kenya...'until the furor dies down.'  That and with Delilah possibly losing her allowance from her 'wealthy American Grandfather, off she goes to Kenya.  When arriving at her stepfather's farm in Kenya the pay is in decay..  the farm doesn't even have a manager.  What will happen now?  This will be where I say you must pick up "A Spear of Summer Grass" as Delilah will fall in with this group of people  and Ryder White.  Will Delilah love this land of Africa and its people?  I did enjoy this read and her descriptions of "A Spear of Summer Grace was simply amazing.  You will find from the read that when a murder occurs "among the British group will Delilah be able to choose who and what is really important to her?"  You will find this read a real page turner that will keep you interested until the very end.  In the beginning you will find Delilah somewhat very spoiled and selfish but you will notice as you keep reading you will definitely see that her stay in Africa will 'slowly break down her barriers.'  Would I recommend this read?  YES!
