    Luck Be A Lady

    Made me laugh. Tessie is trapped in a situation she didn't make and surrounded by people she doesn't know she can trust. Tahoe is a great background for the story and the casino life is a dazzling setting.

    “Sometimes in life we have to go through, what we go through, to get to where we are today…”

    I received this book from the author for an honest review.

    A heartwarming and emotional book that touched the very basics of human kind. The need to belong, to be accepted, to be seen and most of all to be validated.
    A gripping story that will draw you in from the start, not putting it down till the very last page. The author did a wonderful work creating this story and it was written with heartfelt compassion, care and knowledge.
    I believe her main aim with the book was the restoration of people and the sacrifices we make to achieve that.
    When life hands you the raw side of its existence, the only thing that will bring you back is the loving support of family, even if it is not by blood.
    All the characters in this book have crept into my heart and I wanted to be better acquainted. You want to see that life will finally turn around and give them that second change. Each character brought their own unique personalities to create this wonderful read, a read that I can recommend to all.

    Elizabeth's family will cause a few smiles, touching the very need for connection and belonging. Each of her children were part of the antidote for the weary souls, Lucy, Maggie and Randolph.
    Maggie was the one that was determined to get her family back. Having a breakdown in her life made her adamant finding her family. With the help of Damon and Denise she found them and we learn of the long road of recovery, of reconnecting and establishment of the old ties in something new and better.
    Randolph, the only male in the small group will astound you with his in-depth wisdom and his ability to give into the places that are very important to him.
    Lucy, the youngest of the group will break your heart. Her life-story very emotional as you walk with her to end the cycle of addiction and homelessness.
    A wonderful story that was written from the heart, leaving you with the hope that second changes are possible.
    Thanks Rene for this opportunity.

    Wake: A Novel

    Ada, Evelyn, and Hettie...three women all having their lives touched by WWI and all sharing the pain of loss.

    Ada lost her son and still believes he is alive since there really wasn't any closure. She thinks she sees him walking in the town on his way home, but he never does arrive...

    Ada, Evelyn, and Hettie...three women all having their lives touched by WWI and all sharing the pain of loss.

    Ada lost her son and still believes he is alive since there really wasn't any closure. She thinks she sees him walking in the town on his way home, but he never does arrive home.

    Evelyn works in the Pensions Exchange and must deal with maimed soldiers asking for more money or more help. Her brother Ed becomes part of her job and an interesting part of another pensioner's life when the pensioner asks Evelyn to look for an Officer Montfort. She tells him she can't look for him, and her brother denies knowing Rowan Hind, but obviously he does.

    Hettie dances for six pence and has to give half of it to her mother and brother since her father has died and Fred can't work.

    All three women need a change, but will they get the change they need in their lives? And…all three women have one person in common with their grief but don’t know it.

    WAKE was a bit confusing to me. I couldn't keep the characters straight and had to keep looking back as to which character was which because it kept jumping from one story to the next. The Unknown Soldier part was confusing as well.

    The gist of the book is that war changes everyone, but mainly the women left behind. The characters were a bit unlikeable because of obsessions and not knowing what to do with their lives, but the author did develop them well enough that after a while you felt sorry for them.

    The descriptions of the characters and scenes was quite good and detailed as well. If the book had not been jumping from one scene and from one character to the other, it would have been much more appealing. I did like WAKE despite all of this, but it took a while to get into the book. I LOVED the cover...perfect for the era.

    The historical fiction aspect was very well done, and the feelings of each character were easy to identify with. The main feeling was that of despair and boredom with the situations these women were locked into in their daily lives.

    My rating is going to be a 3 1/2 out of 5.

    This book was given to me free of charge and without compensation by the publisher in return for an honest review.

    One of the methods Alice Walker used to convey a powerful message, was simplicity. By using the simple terminology of an abused and uneducated young girl, the effect was to lend weight to the message itself. The main characters were imbued with strength of character and enough defect in character, that is, in the antagonist, that the drama of what seemed at first to be the brutality suffered by a young girl, and the sense of hopelessness and entrapment that she felt, was revealed to be something much greater.

    The simplest thing of all, the color purple, became a symbol of the growing hope that would save her in the end

    This is a powerful piece of literature; not merely because of the story, but because of the literary and artistic mastery of a gifted author.

    This is the story of Jessie. he hasn't been sleeping too well lately owing to some heavy duty night terrors. when his nightmares start to impact on his son, Jessie seeks help from a psychiatrist who refers him to a sleep study. He goes along to enrol, and they give him a drug to supposedly help with the dreams, that's when things take a turn for the worse...

    This is another of those stories that slowly, but surely wiggles its way under your skin and stays there. I have always had a thing about closed cupboard doors at night but now at least I know I am not alone, and this has validated my fears! The pace belted along, and I felt invested in Jessies story. The characters were solid and felt real. I really enjoyed this, although it brought back memories of when I was a child and my nightmares! For a quick read (with the lights on!) to keep you up at night, I recommend this.

    A great story from beginning to end.
    A quick fast paced story that you wished would not end and left you wanting for more. The angle with the secret tattoo gave the story a few good twists as you discovered what it represented. A group to protect the crown found the documents needed to put away a very bad man. And it brought two people together romantically.
    The characters were interesting, believable and very real. The author did a wonderful work creating the plot and story and I for one will be back for more from this author's pen.
    Thank you for a great historical/regency read.
