    Solomon's Oak
    Glory Solomon is a grieving widow whose life is changed forever by Juniper and Joseph, who both enter her life in rather dramatic ways. I would have liked more explanation for the characters' motivations, but the author wrote vivid descriptions of the physical surroundings and the animal-human interaction, and there was a heartwarming ending. No surprises but an enjoyable read.
  • Tiffiny C. (Chillicothe, Il)
    Solomon's Oak
    I read to page 149. I just could not connect with the book. I really tried to keep going in hopes of finding some connection but it actually just got worse. I will say I liked the idea of the story but it just did not hold my attention.
