BUZZ-BUZZ, BOOK BUZZ

SEEKING SARA SUMMERS by Susan Gabriel is one of the most engaging novels I've read lately.

Susan Gabriel perfectly captures the twenty (plus) year marriage of most of the women I know, including me. The writing is superb, and for those who must have third person POV, here it is -- well done.

Sara's self-rediscovery is encouraging, though her life takes on a twist that most women won't experience. It is hopeful that the cautious-caretaking-zipyourcoat-fastenyourhelmet-Iloveyou mom can learn to breathe easy again and find her forgotten self after the kids are launched 'safely' into adulthood. I only hope we are as brave as Sara.

Seeking Sara Summers is a great read and if I did book reviews, I'd give it a million stars for courage and hope.

  1. Wow, Nadine, this is a wonderful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words.

    In all my writing, my goal is to create a good story. And if the book offers courage and hope to even one person, then I feel like I've done my job well.

    All the best,
    Susan Gabriel
