Summary: Sunrise review
Review: What happens when 4 women come together to share a house? Friendship and tragedy. I was immediately drawn into the story and felt compelled to continue until I reached the last page, past my bedtime. What drew me were the characters. They were believable, distinct from one another, and I found myself rooting for them--i.e, the good guys. Wonderful development and dialogue. These people were filled with paradox but remained true to type, just as in real life. While I stumbled occasionally on typos and paused in areas that I feel could have used a tad more polish (an occasional unclear sentence--easily fixed), I found the writing smooth and generally clear. The story flowed, the plot was believable and sympathetic. The end was satisfying. Though I liked all the characters, I choose as my favorites Rhea for her compassion and Jacqui for her spirituality. I love uplifting stories, and for all its tragedy, this story was definitely uplifting. I finished, feeling I had gained a little more knowledge. The time took to read this novel was time well-spent. I felt the theme could have been "Life has purpose and despite death, life continues."

Summary: A fascinating read with strong characters.
Review: While this book is outside my normal reading "type" I found it fascinating and rewarding. I am particularly impressed by the character developement of the author. The story deals with four women brought together by different means and without evidence of similarity, but they grow together with a lasting bond and great interacting support. Such an interesting way that a unique house becomes the glue that provides lasting ties.
