I went to the Simi Valley Library and got these books today. I started reading  The Old Ways about a man who discovers the old pathways in England and walks along them and I could not finish it. I read Early Days in Simi Valley which was interesting. I read the Temple Grandin book also interesting. But the other books were not good. I ended up paying $7 to get a book on Kindle that  I found out about from a blog that I read. The book is The Unmarried Mother by Sheila Tofield
and so far it is excellent.
