How to Find Your Way Home
by Katy Regan
Brother and Sister Forever (11/7/2021)
I love reading books about families and siblings. This book is about a brother and sister separated, the bonds between them and her desire to find her brother again. She finds him, takes him in and both learn that there are many things that they have to work through and something divides them. The writing is beautiful at times and anyone who has had a sibling will understand the sibling love with these two. I think there is plenty of material in the book to lend itself to a good book club discussion. The story is well told, the characters are interesting, it was a good book overall.
The Last Train to Key West
by Chanel Cleeton
Swept away (4/27/2020)
This book is about 3 women whose lives intersect and destiny takes each of them for a ride against the backdrop of a hurricane. I loved the women characters, they were so strong and determined, but each in their own way also a little messed up and needed to learn to grow into beautiful, confident women. I loved the growth of the women, the backdrop of the keys and fast pace of the storyline, it kept me reading until the end. Really good book, now I will go back and read authors previous books.
The Secrets of Love Story Bridge
by Phaedra Patrick
Wonderful, feel good story (1/26/2020)
I love her previous books and this one is no exception. This is a story about love lost and a new love found and lost again. It is charming, hopeful and just leaves you feeling good and all warm inside. I loved it.
Red Letter Days
by Sarah-Jane Stratford
Interesting premise and characters (11/12/2019)
I love to read about the inner workings of television and theater production and this book had that and more. I had a vague knowledge about the McCarthy era and HUAC so this part was really interesting too. I thought the character development was good and the plot interesting. It was a little slow in some places and there were a few things that I thought the story could have done without, but overall I thought it was a good book.
