Here's what I wrote about this read in 2008: "Sequel to Rain of Gold. Not as good as the first (much more sentimentality), but yet good to know the "rest of the story". Would have liked to have met a lot of these people, and how smart & fortunate they were to purchase that prime Californian real estate."
