Official Review: At the Feet of Serenity by Eve Gwartney

[Saint Bruno]

The story of the Claylands is worth reading about. It would also be nice to learn a thing or two about how parents' choices affect their kids. Thanks for the amazing review and congrats BOTD!

[Hiruni Hansika]

Your review made me fascinated about the book. I love how the writer's parents' lives are intertwined with this statue!

[Chrystal Oaks]

This memoir appears to be unique in its format which makes it interesting. I look forward to reading it. Great review!

I couldn't agree more the following quote: "This book depicts how seemingly unimportant things help in significant ways to tell our story." I enjoy learning about other religions, so getting some knowledge about the Mormon church sounds like a good time.

The plot wouldn't have been something that I would be drawn to but I think the way that the author wrote their story is fascinating. I want to see how far the author connects their family history to the statue.

This book seems to bring the story of the Clayland family in a unique manner. Showing how some small details can have huge effects in someone's life. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the informative review!

It is powerful and poetic for the author to use Serenity as a reference for her parents’ commitment as well as and the trials of their life. Thank you for your thorough review.

I love reading memoirs and am intrigued by this book. That must have been so difficult for Henry to raise his five children on his own. I agree that children are shaped by their parents' actions as well as their inactions. This was an outstanding review.

[Justine Ocsebio]

I think what makes the story unique is how the statue of Serenity parallels to the family’s ordeals. When his wife died, Henry suffered from tremendous loss. This is a story of love and grief, and I want to sample this.

I feel for this author and the hardships her family went through. This sounds like a touching story.

For readers that enjoy a comprehensive family tale, this looks like an ideal read. Full of the descriptions of Henry's lifestyle, his religious beliefs, actions, and inactions, and much more await those that get their hands on this one.

I love the author's writing style and I acknowledge that a book like this that points to parents' responsibility in the life of their children is one to read. The important of love cannot be overemphasized. I will love to pick up a copy. Nice review.

At the Feet of Serenity tells the story of Henry the author's father, and his religious beliefs, and the style of narration of the story reflects the attachment and love for her parents.

[Michele H]

Thanks for a very thorough review. I am curious though how much of the book is based on the Mormon religion. The review mentions that this is a theme in the book, but the review doesn’t really address the audience from a religious standpoint.

[Creole]

Thanks to the author for sharing some of her family's history. I love the Serenity/Clayland parallel. The story is touching, and the messages conveyed are invaluable. Thanks for a delightful review.
