A Theory of Survival

Summary: Great Read for the Summer Beach Bag
Review: The setting, Wilmington, Delaware, used to be my home, so I'm always scouting for books about Wilmington to stave off my homesickness for a "great place to be somebody." What fun to meet Holly Hannah and discover the twists and turns her life takes over a year. Great character development, a realistic lifestyle and the attention to detail was fun. This is a good book to take to the beach. It is a quicker read than the size and page numbers hint as the print is large and very easy to read without my middle-aged cheaters. Enjoy and I'm looking forward to Holly's next adventure.

Summary: NOT A REALITY TV PROGRAM
Review: Until "A Theory of Survival," I never heard of Jane Monroe. The cover photograph first captured my attention. What kept my attention was Monroe's use of dialogue, rather than wordy, endless narrative. In this book of hope you are drawn into the life of Holly Hannah. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good story (but not one that is plot-driven) and look forward to Monroe's next.
