Scar Jewelry - How Well Do We Know?

In Scar Jewelry by Sue Perry, twins Deirdre and Langston who are very different in their personalities, set about to learn more about their mother who is in a coma. Their mother has done such a good job of covering  up her past that they have no idea who she truly is or was . The way Heater/Heather has handled changing and hiding her identity is different in this book from anything I have ever read before. At first no-one wants to answer their questions, but eventually they do receive help from some of the Mother's life-long friends. Each new answer seems to lead to even more questions. With each twin having their own ideas about what they find and how it should be handled. With the twins even finding secrets about themselves.  A real page turner to see what each new twist or turn will hold.  Makes one wonder how well do we know our parents/loved ones? I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Interesting Journey

WOW! What an interesting story The Journey To Whitestone, A Parnormal Romance (The Dream Master Series--Book One)  by Johnny Ray turned out to be. I got lost in this wonderful story of Jacqueline and the ups and downs that she faced on her search for true love. I could almost see the beautiful colors of the sunrises and sunsets that she witnessed at the top of the Smokeys. So enjoyed learning along with  her as she met and learned from her different teachers along the way. Several colorful characters to love and dislike that are all a part of Jacqueline's journey.  

Moving Story of three generations...

I just finished reading Summer Melody by Toddie Downs. A moving story of three generations which is told from the view point of  three of the characters, Bonnie, the mother, Meg, her niece, and Jane, her daughter. A dying grandmother with Alzheimers, a young boy who is autistic, a young man with post-traumatic stress disorder, an overbearing future mother-in-law, this family has all this and more to deal with over the summer.  A wonderful book for discussion I would recommend this book to anyone.

Back to the 70's

I finished reading Rosy (Dreams Can Become Nightmares) by Suzanne Tyrpak last night.  Set in New York during the 70's, Rosy struggles wanting to be an actress and independent  from her father.  Finding herself with bills that need paying and no job, she accepts an offer to become a pole dancer. Where the more she makes the more she finds that she needs. An innocent young girl from a small town, she fast finds herself getting mixed up into a world she knows nothing about, drugs, sex, violence, and some very unsavory characters. As in real life she meets a few men who don't have her best interest at heart and some that want to be her guardian angel. She just needs to learn spot the difference.

Back in time with....

I have just finished reading Living Half Free by Haley Whitehall. I was taken back in time to the the dreadful days of slavery. I felt mixed emotions reading this book. I felt anger, terror, and dread, as I read of the sadistic abuse. I cried, and rejoiced,along with Zachariah as he struggles along. Was extremely happy for him when he found love with the Cherokee woman, Lillian. Haley Whitehall has done an excellent job of bringing this story to life.
