Summary: Intrigued
Review: An entertaining short novel with a variety of characters developed very well with few words. The Brittish setting offers a delightful flavor. The plot has adventure, romance, and light intrigue. I was amazed at how the author brought about her conclusion with so few pages remaining. Kept me guessing. Looking forward to the sequel.

Summary: I REALLY loved this book...
Review: Terracotta Summer is a wonderful story with real life characters learning about love in it's many different forms. I also loved how this book taught that through adversity we learn and grow. This book is set in the sixties in England, Scotland and Ireland. It was interesting to learn about the LDS Labor Missionaries, which I hadn't ever heard of before. Their work was difficult but necessary. I don't want give away too much of the story so, all I can really say is read it, you will be very glad you did.

Summary: The '60s With a Twist
Review: The O'Shea family is bound by religious values. And ripped apart by those values at the same time. Ruth O'Shea's journey begins as she tries to flee an abusive past. She boards a ship bound for the U.S. and finds herself in the middle of a dangerous adventure on the high seas. Meanwhile, Ken O'Shea, Ruth's cousin, is battling the locals in Scotland. As he and his colleagues build Airdrie Chapel, he deals with the dejection of the town's citizens who don't want Mormons in their backyard. As he continues his mission, a policeman's daughter catches his eye in the heart of controversy. He attempts to educate her on the true path the Mormons follow. Patrick, Ken's younger brother, is experiencing a revolution of his own. As his parents plan to move the remaning O'Sheas from England to Northern Ireland, Patrick refuses to go. Without his parents' watchful eyes, he takes a spiraling path of rebellion. Each of the O'Sheas has a unique story to tell. Every chapter follows them step-by-step through their adventures of the '60s.

Summary: Wonderful Work
Review: This book was absolutely fantastic. The character development was superb. I was particularly impressed with the development of Ruth, one of the main characters. She is a character that many people can undoubtedly identify with. It is a tale of love, faith and devotion that anyone interested in or a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should read. I anxiously await the sequel.
