I have never read anything by this author. After reading this story though, I'll be watching for further works from her. I discovered this author on Amazon while seeking books to read and came across one that was free. The author graciously sent me a message notifying me that this book was only 99 cents. I looked it up and quickly bought it. I read it within a couple of hours.
What I found captivating was the author's ability to capture my attention, as well as, my emotions within this story. It brought back some many fond and not so fond memories regarding my own life. We, as people, tend to forget that we learn by our mistakes/misfortunes, and accomplishments. These will give each of us the tools/know how to move on in life with relative ease, if one will just remember what we have gone through and the many individuals that were and still are in involved with our lives.
The main/secondary characters were strong and realistic. Emotions, trial and error, and listening to elders, regarding story-telling and lessons of life and faith were made believable in a "Magikal Fairytale" sort of way. I loved how animals, both natural and mythological were mentioned in the telling of this story. Quotes are given at the beginning of each chapter that correspond with the lessons of life.
The pace of the story was smooth and steady. The concept was heartfelt and enriching. It contains light romance, intrigue, and life lessons from famous people of the past and present, and regular people within the characters lives. There are definitely many situations that will capture your attention that you as a person have went through.
Though, this story isn't one of my normal reads, it turned out to be a "keeper". I would recommend this story for all readers that enjoy stories that invoke memories both good and not so good of our own lives. It's very touching to the soul.
I loved the book cover. The artistic imagery captures the eye and fits the book within it's entirety. The book description was easy read and captures the attention. There is a Book 2 for this story, so I'm now off to read it. Enjoy.....
Happy Reading!!!!!!!!!!!!
