Summary: Leegant's Paradise has Five-Star accomodations
Review: When I read this collection I couldn't help but find myself in a world where I felt I played an individual role in the lives of the characters in each story. This world where the stories end much too soon but, each with its own independent soul, live on forever could only be created, in this stylish, witty manner by Joan Leegant. Her writing lifts itself off each page and lets us be the flies on the wall that we always dream of being when discovering a new author.

You will find yourself wrestling with the concepts of a Higher Power and what it puts before us in life and death. From the surprises and mysteries of love to belligerent foreign neighbors, each story of An Hour in Paradise shows us everything we need to know about perceiving past events in life and somehow leaves room to teach us how to learn from and cope with the teachings to come. I think we may expect great things from Joan Leegant, and, as a young reader, I think her writings have shown me a thing or two of what I might expect from myself.
