Nora's Ribbon Of Memories A Novel <br>book Three In The Keepsake Legacies Series

Rating:
Summary: connie j.
Review: I especially liked this book because of its continuing storyline concerning Reagan Bishop and Noah Ritter, I'm ashamed to say. Reading about poor Nora and all her hardships were just in the way of what was going on between Reagan and Noah. True, the story dragged a bit, particularly when Nora was in the brothel, but it made for wonderful reading. You won't be sorry for your purchase.

Rating:
Summary: Slow Start, but Keep Reading!
Review: I liked this book, especially since I knew some of the characters from the other books. It seemed to drag at the beginning, but it was worth the wait. I'm amazed that Nora came out of a terrible situation and yet holds upstanding values. Of course, one of the points of the book is that good values alone are not enough. Read and Enjoy.

Summary: connie j.
Review: Nora is a teenager who leaves an abusive home to end up as the housekeeper in a brothel in Lincoln, Nebraska in the 1800's. She really does not "fit" so townspeople help her find her niche as a milliner. Probably the most intriguing part of the book is the revelation of the identity of blond, handsome, actor Grayson Chandler, the heartthrob of Nora. It is interesting to renew old friends Mikal and Karyn Ritter and others from Karyn's Memory Box, but somehow, the story does not flow as well. However, Whitson is a talented writer and this book is worth the time.

Summary: Very Nice Reading
Review: Nora O'Dell is a runaway who ends up first in a brothel as the young housekeeper, then as a milliner's assistant. She eventually meets a young actor, has the usual disastrous romance, then leaves to start her own shop in another town. The actor follows, revealing an identity I didn't expect even when characters from Karyn's Memory Box started showing up. It was a nice little tale, very romantic.

Summary: Not as good as Karyn's Memory Box
Review: This story is actually about a girl who runs away from her abusive father and learns self-esteem. While I felt sorry for Nora, I never really liked her or the story line. Unlike all of this authors other books, this one did not flow and was disappointing after Karyns Memory Box, which I would rate much higher.

Summary: Another wonderful story from Stephanie Grace Whitson!
Review: While Walks the Fire is still probably my favorite Whitson novel, Nora's Ribbon of Memories continues the author's tradition of fascinating story-telling. It was a joy to "meet" Karyn and Mikal Ritter (From Karyn's Memory Box) again, and I especially enjoyed the clever intertwining of the contemporary storyline with the historical. I always eagerly look forward to a new Whitson novel!
