Finding a new author

I have just started reading Karen White books and am thrilled to say she is just wonderful. Each book has been filled with great characterizations and fabulous stories. As I read each book I find myself saying "WOW where have you been all my life??" The stories AND the people are so real...I am crying and laughing and thinking and wanting! I wouldn't hesitate to buy any book of hers and I sure will not hesitate to read them again and again.
Thanks Karen White!

Nice Read

I originally picked up this book because the description on the back talks about an Accountant who has panic attacks which I also am. However, the book does not go over much about her job or panic attacks, its mearly a mention through the book. Other than that, I really enjoyed the book which was a nice read.

Pieces of the Heart

This is a wonderful story, the first novel I have read by Karen White. I am sold, and will read many more of her novels. it's an intriguing love story, dealing with issues of guilt that are very hard to put aside for the main character. Also, it is not a typical "sappy" romance; and it has a happy ending, my type of story!

Once again, Karen White has taken me away...

Once again, Karen White has taken me away to the perfect lake house - in her last book, "The Color of Light" I immediately called my travel agent and booked a beach house for the summer (in the middle of January). Now I want to rent a lake house! Karen is such a talented writer that I believe all of the characters are my friends and that I am actually in the story. I couldn't put the book down. Now that I'm finished, I can't wait until the next book!

reviews: page 1, 2

To escape the stress from her all-consuming job as an accountant, Caroline Collier joins her overbearing mother at the family's vacation home in the mountains of North Carolina. But the serene beauty of Lake Ophelia cannot heal Caroline's heart, which is still broken by the loss of her younger brother, who died when she was seventeen. And the tension between her and her mother still simmers. Only their neighbors, the husband and daughter of one of Caroline's childhood friends, seem able to penetrate her cool reserve, giving Caroline the courage to face her biggest fears-and dive headfirst into life.
