Finn for Readers' Favorite Witty, charming, and well-dressed as a black and white cinema classic from the 1940's, WAVES holds riveting plot twists and a misty-eyed ending reminiscent of the cherished soda bread recipe she keeps close to her heart: wholesome and satisfying to the last page. Christy Baker Knight, author of On Display, a novel of natural history
