The story sounds really good. But this is really not my genre. I am more into adventure, scifi and fantasy stuff. So I'm going to pass on this one. Thank you for the review.

The good plot and family themes in this historical fiction book sound interesting. I prefer the twists and turns to action anyway. Thanks for the review.

The sample was most intriguing and was more than I anticipated. Your review tells a synapse without divulging too much, though, she has a son? I have to add this to my list of reads to find out, don't I!

Aunt Simeone is a bad example of an aunt anyone should have. I commend the initiative of Beth leaving her to start a new phase of her life. Thanks for the review.

Storyline definitely sounds quite intriguing and promising, so it is more the pity to be discouraged from reading it by such low average rating. Nowadays most people can't afford to waste their meager free time on book which gathered 2.8 out of 4. At least it's true for me. Sorry, no offense.

Based on the cover, I would think this one is at least a little action packed, so it's interesting that it isn't. Nevertheless, it sounds like an interesting read. Thanks for the review!

The novel is intriguing and interesting. I loved Beth's personality. Beth comes out as an extremely robust woman uniquely determined to press on to allow nothing to weigh her down from her background. The themes of family and love were well brought out by the author. I liked the well-structured dialogues which were engaging. This piece is incredible.
I love your review! It puts it well. Great! :D

I love stories like these; a true-life story. I wonder what Sister Mary decided to choose. Love life or her vows. Something would have to give. Thanks for the review.

I need a little bit of action in my books. I think I'll give it a pass, but it does sound interesting.
