10/26/11 - Well, I finished this book almost 2 weeks ago.  Here are my thoughts - 3 out of 5 stars:
I think overall this book was pretty good, it is truly a book that discusses the truth about friendship and the things that can make or break us when we allow people to enter our lives.  At the end, I feel as though the author left us hanging.  I was left wondering what happens after the two friends go their separate ways.  Is Lucy Dawson, keeping things open for a sequel??? 
9/27/11 - The plan is to start What My Best Friend Did by Lucy Dawson today!  :)

9/27/11 - I actually finished reading this book on Sunday afternoon.  I have to say it was a nice read.  The author totally captured how death has the ability to totally transform us in so may unimaginable ways and the many ways that we as humans cope with death.
 
9/25/11 - This is yet another short story/book that isn't on my 2011 Reading List.  While I'm debating which book I want to read next, I figured I would read this in the meantime.  I started reading One More Winter yesterday and hope to have time to finish it today.

9/25/11 - Although this book isn't on my 2011 Reading list, it was free on my Kindle and decided to read it.  I started and finished this book yesterday afternoon.  It was a very quick and good read.  It was a great love story that touched on going with your gut when it comes to matters of the heart.   

9/25/11 - I finished reading this book yesterday.  I must say that overall it was a great read!  To read this story of four generations of women who suffered through domestic violence and their story of triumph was amazing.  L.Y. Marlow does a great job, although the story is based on her family, she does a great job in making sure that the reader can relate to each woman in one way or another.  The reader gets to go inside the minds of these women and see why they stayed in their situations and what finally gave them the strength to leave.  Amongst tragedy, we can still be strong and survive, we can all turn the corner and learn to fly and reach greater heights for ourselves and our families. 

9/9/11 - I just started reading Color Me Butterfly by L.Y. Marlow on Monday, September 5, 2011.  So far this book is a definite page turner.  I can't wait to see how this family turns things around for the better!!!
