WonderfulWhat a wonderful book. The story makes you want to laugh, cry, pray and be joyful. I felt the prayers said by the people.The setting of this book is is Rosey Corner, a small town in rural Kentucky, during the Depression.Times are hard for everyone. The Depression is in full swing, food is scarce, jobs scarcer yet. Kate Merritt is the middle child of 3 daughters of Victor and Nadine. She is mature for her age, and tries her very best to keep the family intact, despite a father rushing towards alcoholism whose business is slowly going into ruin due to the Depression. One day, Kate finds a dirty little girl named
Victor, Nadine, and Kate Merritt are the main characters in this book. The story revolves around their past and present lives. Victor has a drinking problem which started when he was serving in WWI. I strongly suspect that Preston Merritt, Victor's Father, played a big part in it too. Preston was a man that his son could never please. Victor could do nothing right in his Father's eyes; the reason goes back to when Victor was growing up. Nadine Merritt is the Daughter of Preacher Reece. She too
I'm very excited about this book that will be out on the market in February 2011. It's set during the Depression years and my what if jumping off spot for this story was the many stories my mother and my aunts told me about growing up during those years. They must have had the oddest neighbors in the world. I changed the people in their stories into my own fictional characters and made up a family drama with the flavor of their background in the setting. There is a parallel WW I love story along
I've only recently discovered Ann H. Gabhart's novels and WOW!! Angel Sister is the first book in a trilogy and it is AMAZING! This story makes you want to keep reading; I literally spent the entire day with my face in this book... I couldn't put it down. It is a riveting novel of life in a very small town and on the battlefield during WWI. Within a chapter, a character's thoughts will take him from "present day" 1937 to the days of his/her childhood and life leading up to that very moment.
This book had a slow start but got better the further I read. I found the end of the story a bit predictable.
Powerful story but needed better editing. Got repetitive, and could have been tightened up. Less is more.
