Wakulla Book Review: The Hermit by Robert E. McGinnis




I believe that Dr McGinnis has totally outdone his mindset with this book. It was informative, decisive and worthy to be read.

As in the beginning, I wasn't too very sure what we had here, but wow, did the story come about. I even had feelings that I in no way expected to come out. Very wet feelings.
     
This book was a very emotional book in that I was trying to tell Bill Fain how to live his life. Problem was, that some of the things just went bad no matter what he did.
     
In the ending, which occurred about fifty pages before it should have, things did turn out very good for everyone, meaning Bill and Saundra. But? What were the twins like? How did they grow up? Was Saundra acceptable of her new life? To go from being a C E O of a large corporation, to being nothing, and living life out in the wilds like the Hermit?
     
I would like to see the book that answers these questions.

Thank You,

Wakulla Book Review: The Map Quilt by Lisa J. Lickel


The Map Quilt is an attention grabber. From the first page until the last I was thoroughly entertained and mesmerized. This is a book laced with history, politics, mystery, love, hope, and faith. By the end of the book I felt like I was a part of the character’s lives.

From the atrocities of slavery and the perils of escape through the underground railroad to modern corporate espionage, there is never a dull moment. The plot twists and turns at just the right moments to keep the reader guessing until the end.

Bringing up real issues from the past, and tying them together with today’s controversies about “green” energy, the tale is quite realistic. The best part of the story for me is the thread of faith that ties it all together.

I would give this book 4 ½ stars out of 5 – I may have given it a 5 had I read the first book in the series.

Well done!

Wakulla Book Review: Meander Scar by Lisa J. Lickel



Summary of Book:

Ann Ballard’s husband Gene Ballard has been missing for seven and a half years. She’s raised her only son Ritchie “who seems to hate his mother while adoring his missing father” alone.
Mark Roth is a young man who lived next door until his younger brother Trey died in an auto accident which also involved Ritchie who lived through it. He is eleven years younger than Ann but is fully in love with Ann.

Mark returns to town and helps Ann to learn to live and love again. Also to deal with finding her lost husband and the betrayal of her mother-in-law. Mark stands by Ann until all the pieces fall into place and they can face the world as a younger man and older wife. But then Ann has a stroke and Mark’s faith is tested to the max.

Author’s purpose: The author assumes the position that true love conquers all. If it’s mean to be, it will be.

Themes:  Donna’s Treachery/Ann’s Headaches and fears/The stroke Ann had/Love can conquer all

Controversial issues:

1.              Younger man/Older woman: The author stands on love being more important than age.
2.              Sex before marriage: The author believes it’s a gift worth waiting for.
3.              Whether to press charges on Donna for fraud: Circumstances and motives should be weighed and considered.

Thesis:  True love can stand, overcome, and conquer over every obstacle when God is its foundation.

I really loved this love story and was blown away by Mark’s faith and resolve to stand firm and love Ann unconditionally. When he told her he loved her enough to go away if that was what she wanted, I was floored.

The deception of the mother-in-law, Donna, the rebellion and confusion of the niece, Maeve, the anger and rebellion of the son, Ritchie, even the bitter and loving relations between Ann and her sister Rachel.

This love story – mystery is really good. I’d give it five stars on a five star scale.
