[Libs-Or] Seeking title of a book

[KRIST OBRIST]

Thank you to all of you who offered suggestions. The patron confirmed that
Temperance Creek by Pamela Royes is indeed the title of the book she has
been searching for.

She is very appreciative of all of your collective efforts to help her out
(as am I).

Thanks....Krist
