Summary: Not impressed
Review: I was not impressed by this book. It could have been better. The plot was revealed early on, and then the book went downhill.
I was waiting for something huge to happen after the plot came out, but nothing was there.
Please do not waste money on this book...get it from the library if you must.

Summary: Pages Readers Group Reads Kinfolks
Review: If nothing else, "Kinfolks" stirred up some emotion and conversation at the Pages Discussion meeting. Comments ranged from "no they didn't" to "what in the world" were Patrice and Cherry drinking! The story of these "power-to-the-people" sisters is a mix between funny, sometimes outrageous with a twist of complexity. Our group tried to identify with the sisters and the choices they made in keeping a "pivotal" secret from their children. One that nearly caused a genetic disaster. Not everyone enjoyed this tale of three single-moms, trying to raise "almost perfect" kids with making "daddy" take some parental responsibilities. However, the banter during our discussion let us know that Kristin Hunter Lattany did a creative job in developing the characters and story

Summary: Kinfolks
Review: Kinfolks is the story of two best friends who's son and daughter are about to get married, but shocking news will keep them from being together. This book was good, but also made us look at one of the bad parts of just going around having kids without being in a serious relationship.

Summary: Time Killer
Review: Kinfolks was a good book,UNTIL, I reached the last chapter. There was not enough tension between the women who conceived these children and the man who help create them and then left them. At the end of the novel, everything seemed to be placed in a tight tiny package and 'the end'. That's it. No more. The emotional level could have been explored a little deeper. All in all, a quaint read.

Cherry and Patrice begin looking for Eugene Green's other children of the sixties. They even recognize a son of his living in the neighborhood. Just how many women were charmed by Eugene Green during the "free love" and "I don't need a husband" era. In their search, their friendship is strengthen, they set real priorities, and there is personal growth and action for both of the friends. Meanwhile, the children having to fend for themselves not only "grow up" a little, but find and help their biological father. Well written. Delightful and funny.
