When Addie Young's father dies, she inherits one-hundred acres of land and receives a cryptic letter that was written by Cole Younger, one of Addie's ancestors and a gunfighter who rode with Jesse James. She believes the letter contains clues to find a treasure, so she sets out to locate the land and whatever is hidden on it. She runs her Mustang off the road on her way into the town of “Talk” and is soon being helped by Jack, the mayor of that little town, who takes a shine to Addie. It is going to take some time for the local mechanic to fix Addie's car, so Jack offers her a place to stay while she waits.
The
novel is interesting for a few reasons: the relationship between
Addie and Jack grows in a way that's fun to follow, there is plenty
of information about the Ojibwe Indians, and Addie falls in love with
the sweet feel of the town and its residents. There's also a
spiritual side to the plot, especially at the end.
I
liked the characters in “Talk” and the easy pace of the plot. It
is a sweet novel.
