Lynn doesn't stop - this is a great series! I love the new twists in the plot and reading as they unfold. Life is demanding enough without the added calamity that engulfs and draws the reader into this book. I believe this series would be awesome as a new television show.

I had no idea where this story was going to take me when i started reading.....once again Cathy Lamb's story lead me from laughter to tears, and very personal topics. I feel as though I know these characters.  Almost finished and I'm putting it off because I don't want the story to end, just yet.  Would love to see this as a movie.

Lynn Austin did not disappoint me with this book. Her writing style is a favorite of mine. Excellent reading. I prefer Bible based historical fiction. If you have similar tastes, I highly recommend this book.

I bought this book the other day at 6PM. Sat down with it and didn't stop until I was done. Lynn is funny, imaginative (to say the least!), and hits home on every account. For those of us who are also entrepreneurs, we can never receive too much information to help us move forward in our own businesses. I too will reread this book and get my own giant white board and markers to see my new venture become a reality! Thanks, Lynn for thinking of us!!!

Lynn Austin is a wonderful writer. It's very easy to become engrossed in the story and also learn more of the bible at the same time. Great read!

A must read !  I could not put this book down. It's funny, suspenseful, and much much more.  I can't wait to read more by Cathy Lamb as this was my first of her novels.

Lynn Austin has become one of my favorite authors.  She takes the Biblical accounts, puts flesh and blood on realistic  characters and brings the Bible to life while staying true to the actual text.  I read  her "God and Kings" series through twice.  This book is every bit as good.  I highly recommend it to everyone.

To those of you who think you have no time to read, do yourself a favor and read the first chapter of The Far Side of the Orchard.  I guarantee you will not put it down until you read the last page.

 Lynn Richardson makes you care about all characters as she breathes life into each and every one. She infuses humor into the least expected places such as the advice Margie thinks she is being given by a black woman, who is actually talking on a cell phone to her "sistuh". Or when Margie goes to sleep during a job interview.

I love Lynn's books, she nails small town characters accurately, lovingly and there is no filth in her books. The pictures give life and authenticity to the books.  If you missed Lucky Old Coot, buy it and read it, also.  I can't wait for the next one. GO LYNN!

I fell in love with LP when I stumbled across her music on YouTube. This album is incredible. LP is incredible! She is so unique and so talented! Truly a one of a kind artist! Buy this album!

Lynn does it again. I love this series. Lynn has an easy and engaging style that equals the masters of the mystery genre. Her characters are mature and real, and the adventures keep you involved. They end too soon. Now we all have to wait until Julia and the gang embark on another typical Mercer Island day! Great read Lynn!

This has got to be one of the greatest books ever written!  Chapter 4 is about a dear friend of mine & I am so happy that her experience has been written about, to be shared with others!
Each one of the people in the book made you really stop & take a look at your own life.  I have shared this book with friends up north, who are in turn sharing it with their friends!  Everyone's like..."Hey, you gotta read this book"  or "You really NEED to read this book!"  Doesn't take long to sit down & enjoy it...much more enlightening than most of the tv shows these days!  Keep up the good work Lynn!  Can't wait for the next one!

I have read this before and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Lynn's sense of humor makes her message clearer.  I bought this book as a gift as the theme never grows old.

KC Lynn once again has amazed me with her talent.  I've never read another author that can grab me so fast and take me on the most amazing roller coaster of emotions only to put me back together and have me begging for more!

I love these characters and could read about them forever!  The help that they get at the end made me so freaking happy... I can't wait for the next adventure!!

Each time I read a Lynn Austin book I finish by saying, "That was my favorite!" That is...until I read the next Austin book and then that becomes my new favorite. I finally just decided that every Lynn Austin book I've ever read is a favorite and she is most definitely my favorite author. Her writing transports me into the book. I feel all of the emotions that the character is feeling. Eve's daughter's is another wonderful story of the lives of women through several generations. You will feel their joy and their triumphs, their love and the pain of their losses. You'll be on the edge of your seat until the end of the book when the story finally becomes untangled and you see the full picture.

I love Austin's style of writing and how she breaks her books up into mini stories meant to focus on a particular character. Each little story is just a piece of the puzzle and at the end of the book it finally fits together to create a beautiful masterpiece. Through words, she creates vivid pictures and feelings that cause me to fall in love with each character and personality found in her story. It is difficult to put her stories down, and I'm often reading late into the night! You won't be disappointed in this book!

This is told from the viewpoint of two different women. This book was an emotional roller coaster, but probably one of Lynn Austin's best books yet! I laughed, I cried, and almost mourned the loss of new friends once the book was over. One of the main characters is writing her life's story, so you get two view points from her...the "present" and 50 years prior. It was so interesting how Lynn Austin wove basically 3 stories together so seamlessly. I highly recommend this book!

I was given this book as a gift by the author's daughter. As a future English educator (currently in college at the University of Iowa) I am in a course called Reading and Teaching Adolescent Literature. I made a comment to his daughter about how much I loved the class and she mentioned Jon's novels and soon I had the books waiting for me at home! I had heard of Jon through his daughter (as she was a former teacher of mine!) but had never looked into reading any of his novels. After I received these gifts, I immediately started reading Who is Lori Darling for a book talk project in my Young Adult Lit class. I LOVED IT. I could not put this book down after I started reading and am so excited to share it with my classmates and professor. I highly reccomend this book to young adults AND adults who are looking for a great read. Seriously, I cannot say enough about this novel and Jon's willingness to help with my presentation for my YAL course! 5 plus stars on a great author who has written a great novel! I am excited to read the rest of Jon's novels and pass them on to my future students! :) :) :)
