Here are the questions we discussed Reading the Western Landscape Book Club at the Arboretum Library of the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden on September 1, 2015. 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 *	Why did she start the book out the way she did? 
 *	Why was she so mean to that little girl? 
 *	Did she like her mother? Does it matter? 
 *	What are the ghosts? 
 *	Was her writing clear? Why? Why not? 
 *	Why did she use "emigrant"? 
 *	Why does the story end at the time period it does? How does the story on pages 99-109 fit in? 
 *	What confused you about the book? What didn't? 
 *	What did you learn from the book? 
 *	Do you have any questions you would like to ask the group? (hide spoiler)]
