St. Martin's Griffin, 2006

a truly satisfying sequel
I approached Sarah's Quilt with some hesitation as so often sequels just don't live up to the anticipation of the first book's enjoyment. Sarah's Quilt, however, did not disappoint. The characters of the story are so fleshed out in such subtle ways, I feel as if I have come to know and love these people. The plot is, like life itself, a bit disjointed, and takes a while to get started. Certain ...

Sarah's Quilt Definitely Warms the Heart!
This sequel to "These is My Words" is absolutely riveting. Rarely does a sequel live up the to the original, but in this case, I can definitely say I was completely satisfied. Pioneer life was hard and agonizing at times - this book captures the grit and savvy of one early pioneer woman beautifully and without reserve. Be prepared to have a water bottle on hand, as you will be thirsty ...

Gwen Bristow

Chicago Review Press, 2006

Gwen Bristow's books helped me survive middle school and awkward adolescence.
I just reviewed Celia Garth, which was the first novel I had read by Gwen Bristow. I found that book to be so enthralling that I quickly sought out and read everything she wrote. I think, other than Celia Garth, this was my favorite of Bristow's books. Bristow writes clearly and descriptively and makes you feel like you are back in period of time that she is writing about. She adds ...

Quite unexpectedly, Frosty stumbles upon a black congregation at ...
