...three Reagans lunched in the dining room, the prairie sun making bright squares on the floor through the white scrim curtains, memories tumbling forth about raising rabbits, collecting birds' eggs and filling the icebox and the wood stove...
Splendidly white in the morning sun, it looked like a great migratory bird returning to its winter haunts. Indeed, as Challenger appeared out of the blue Florida skies at week's end, it was truly coming home. Touching gently down on the Kennedy Space Center's long concrete runway, within sight of the towering gantry where it had taken off on its 3 million-mile odyssey eight days earlier, the winged ship became the first spacecraft of any nation to end its celestial wanderings where they had begun.

Such sun-drenched perplexities are home ground for Author Spencer, who for more than three decades has been publishing subtle, meticulous fiction about her native Mississippi (The Voice at the Back Door) and about Americans in Italy (The Light in the Piazza). She seems to have conceived The Salt Line...
