A story that kept you wondering. A beautiful story about two young girls who shared the same experience and a dark secret. The bond between them was the kind of bond all friends should have. I hope Ms. Stone continues her story. Ms. Stone's first book "Sins of Innocence" (which I have not read yet) is the beginning of Jess and Ginny. I am searching high and low to find "Sins" and I know it will be just as good as this one. Share this one with a friend.

What a pleasant surprise to see a sequel to Ms. Stone's excellent book, SINS OF INNOCENCE, a story of 4 unwed girls who gave up their babies for adoption. This book reminds me of why Ms. Stone is my favorite romance author. She knows how to write about women's feelings and the friendships between women with Jessica and Ginny as the lead characters (P.J. passed away in the previous book and Susan is out of the picture). Again, she manages to touch my heart with all the emotion and compassion that she portrays in this book. I love the way she writes dialogue. Her description of Martha's Vineyard sounds quaint and inviting, like someplace I would like to visit soon.

I found myself spending every waking moment reading this book and waiting to see what would happen next, but didn't want the book to end. Great work, Ms. Stone! I am anxiously awaiting your next wonderful novel.

The return to Larchwood is a warm relationship drama

Review Date: 1998-12-13

In 1968, teenager Jessica Bates stayed at the Larchwood Hall for unwed mothers until she gave birth to a little girl that she gave up for adoption. Over the ensuing years, Jessica began to help her friends find the infants they gave up, but also learned that her own baby died. Jessica married, had three other children, and since divorced.

Three decades after giving up her child, Jessica receives a cryptic message that the little girl lives. She thinks it has to be a hoax, but cannot ignore the message. Jessica is happy to have a friend accompany her on her search for her daughter, which starts with the girl's father, Richard Bryant. Though fearing what she will learn, Jess realizes she must know and prays that she can one day hug her "little girl".

TIDES OF THE HEART, the sequel to SINS OF INNOCENTS, is a warm relationship drama that provides the story of Jessica, a prime mover in the first novel. The angst-laden story line will steal readers' hearts as the characters struggle with deceit and revelations that shake the very core of their essence. Jean Stone is one of the leading writers of deep relationship tales that tug at the souls of the audience.

Review Date: 2006-07-10

I bought two copies of the book -- one for me, and one for my 6-year old granddaughter to take home, and I can't wait to read it with her. Tilly's "eyes" on the cover compelled me to read the book as soon as I opened the package from Amazon. After reading it, I felt the desire to order more copies to give as gifts. This is a wonderful example of what life is about. Everything about this book is excellent -- from the story with its wonderful "cast of characters," to the drawings, to the lessons learned from the compassion of the kind verinarian to Tilly's rescuers and barnyard friends. I plan to keep it on my table to remind me of what life is about. Thanks to the authors and everyone involved.

Tilly A Deer's Tale...a heartfelt "true" story

Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2006-03-26

I read this book and it is about a deer who was all alone...Tilly was rescued, cared for, and found comfort in her new friends at her new home, a barn with many friendly animals. Even as she suffered a serious leg injury, her animal friends at the barn waited for her and stood by her.
Ultimately, regardless of her leg injury, Tilly showed the strength to help other baby deer who were later rescued and brought to the barn, just as she was.
This is a very heartfelt story about animals and people who care about animals. It shows how a little "kindness" can give so much "strength."

Based on a true story, Tilly...A Deer's Tale by Lee Manning-Vogelstein, Elizabeth Walker and Kristin Currid is the story of a young deer rescued from a river and raised on a farm, who is gradually prepared for release into the wild. Tilly... A Deer's Tale emphasizes respect for living things, and sees the world through the wide eyes of animals learning to grow up and fend for themselves, and teach others to do the same. Gentle, realistic color illustrations bring this heartwarming story to life. Highly recommended. A portion of the proceeds for Tilly... A Deer's Tale will be donated by the author to local animal rescue efforts.

Tooter won't talk to anybody because she doesn't want to live on Aunt Sally's farm. Aunt Sally likes the silent treatment, but it drives dad crrrraaaaazzzzy! Tooter thinks she's going to croak because there isn't any McDonald's.

Inspiring Story

Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2008-01-21

Sometimes reality is so much better than fiction. I'm not sure a fiction author could have imagined a better story line. Torches of Joy is an incredibly inspiring and uplifting book focused on the work of missionaries John and Helen Dekker among the Dani people. I'm always amazed at how God can take ordinary people and use them for extraordinary purposes. While a significant portion of the book is focused on the Dekker's lives and work, it is somewhat overshadowed by the power of God and his work among the Dani people. Miracles are prevalent and God's blessings on their work obvious. Most amazing, for me though, was the wisdom John and Helen showed in working with the Dani people. I can not imagine the overwhelming feelings they had at times to change the people rather than let God do the work for them. At the same time, the courage of the Dani people is highlighted and many of their sacrifices not forgotten.

Torches of Joy is very easy to read by children and adults. It doesn't go into a lot of details and moves from one story to the next, which is good for keeping children interested. It is an excellent guide to evangelism. The methods used by the Dekker's are often times, sadly forgotten in our modern culture. If you are wanting to strengthen your faith, educate your children, or simply be encouraged by the power of God, this is an excellent choice.

We loved this book!!

I read a borrowed copy of this book aloud to my two children ages 8 and 11. We loved the story of John and Helen Dekker moving, with their family, into Toli River Valley area of New Guinea to be with the Dani people.

The work they were allowed to do was very inspiring. It was so interesting to consider explaining and teaching about Jesus and the Word of God to a people that have no knowlege of Him. There were many things that did not have direct paralels with the Dani culture, we enjoyed reading about how the Dekkers conveyed the message. The results were so touching. It reminded me, that each of us is in the same position and can be touched and changed as dramatically as the Dani's were changed by knowing and following Jesus.

The spirit that the Lord imparted to the Dani's under John and Helen Dekker was very precious. They desired to give to others what had been given to them. And they endeavored to do it.

We all loved meeting the different Dani's through the story. We will only travel in wururu's after this, never airplanes. We laughed at the Dani's attempt to convey modesty, cried at their losses and really appreciated the sacrifices that were made by the many people involved in this work, knowing that sacrifices extract a price.

We all agreed that we would need to get our own copy of this book. Another book in a similar vein we enjoyed was "In Search of the Source"--can't remember who it is by.

This is a very readable account of the emergence of a tribe that was literally in the Stone Age (no knowledge of or use of any metal!) into the 20th Century during the 60's and 70's. These People are still assimilating into the Indonesian culture today. Much of the story is about the evangelisation in a People centered, keep the culture manner. The book is co-authored by and about my father - so I have a personal interest in this story! In fact I grew up as a child in the midst of it.

The title and design of the book suggested it would appeal to women, but I was drawn into it and found I couldn't put it down. In fact, the only time I put it down was when I was wiping tears, and I'm a hard-edged guy. It's rare to find a memoir that's as honest and engaging as this one. Anybody who's been in a relationship can relate to the struggle for true commitment. You don't have to be a parent to savor the inspirational story of how this couple came to terms with the death of a child.

Any woman, whether she has children, cannot have children or has adopted children, will love this story! In fact, any woman who has ever loved a man will love this book. I found that I could not put it down - kept me up at night as many a fast-paced thriller has done. The author has managed to keep the reader spellbound as well as touch on many facets of most readers' lives. I could see and hear myself on many of this book's pages. I truly believe, as Ms. Dillon, that life can only be faced with humor to see us through the rough times.

I loved reading this book! The accolades on the jacket from Sophy Burnham and Jerry May got my attention, and the book summary on the inside cover intrigued me. And the book lived up to the praise. With grace and wit, Ms. Dillon tells a real-life story of love and desolation and hope. Of course, everyone's story eventually is about love and desolation and hope. Unlike most of us, though, Dillon has begun to read between the lines of her story, where the real story is being told. You probably won't read your Real Story the same way she reads hers. But her book will invite you to begin reading your own between-the-lines story. It's that kind of book -- warm, inviting, funny, and unsparingly honest. Give it to yourself. Give it to someone you love. (A great St. Valentine's Day present -- not chocolates and roses but Real Love!)

I found Sgt. Stone's book a masterpiece. It proves to me that the US Government is aware of UFOs, Actively engaged in learning more about UFOs, and is actively hiding these truths from us the people and the US Congress. Having read the book, and having heard Sgt. Stone on many radio programs, I was so impressed that I went to his home and interviewed him. His personal story is even more intriguing. His research is so great because he was there. He was part of the secret for many years. He knew where to look for proof of the TRUTH. UFOs Are Real.

Having spent my teen years in the late 50s/early 60s and being a big fan of the music from that era I definitely could relate to Dee Dee Phelps story. But truthfully, with the exception of the song "Turn Around", I never got particularly excited about Dick & Dee Dee's catalog of music and I picked up this book imagining that it would be a relatively lightweight piece of fluff. Very quickly I found out that Dee Dee was pulling no punches in describing both the light and the dark side of the 60's music industry and her partner Dick St. John (who comes across as somewhat of an obnoxious egotist). Her accounts of recording sessions and adventures while touring the country by bus with other music notables make for great reading. Highly recommended!

Vinyl Highway: A Memoir is the true-life story of singer Dee Dee Phelps. Packed with stories that tell both the bright and dark sides of fame, Vinyl Highway relates the experiences of performing with such legends as Dick Clark, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, and other memorable recording artists of the 60s; Dee Dee's role in creating five Billboard gold records; and her routine as a semi-regular on the ABC show "Shindig". An up-close and personal reminiscence of the thick of the 60's music scene, and a treat for anyone who remembers the sounds of the 60's fondly.

I like this book 'cause I could easily relate to it.... kinda'. Dee Dee is just like me... she is one of us -- a every-day kid growing up in the 50s and 60s. That was me... riding in the car, listening to the music. I could imagine the DJ playing my song. Only Dee Dee din't just imagine it. She did it. It was the beginning of a decade-long ride on the roller coaster of rock and roll. Dick Clark, Quincy Jones, the Beach Boys, Glenn Campbell, Dionne Warwick, Bobby Vinton... Dick and Dee Dee rubbed shoulders with all of them. There were good times and there were bad times. This is her "behind the scenes" story. It's pretty cool.

Lowenstein's Best

Helpful Votes: 1 out of 1 total.
Review Date: 2006-01-09

What fiction writer, at this late date, could possibly have anything new to say about the Holocaust? What is inarguably the central tragedy of the 20th Century tends to sink these days beneath the weight of its own horrifying importance. It takes a wholly original imagination to again pull a living human story from the mudslide of sanctified history and make it fresh and chilling, and thank God Sallie Lowenstein has one.

In a more melancholy voice than she has used in the past yet still with convincing childlike levity, Lowenstein wades right in as if the subject is as new to us as it is to her main character, Sarah, a twelve-year-old artist growing up in the less ironic America of four decades ago. Sarah is innocent, corny and goofy, but that naivete can be a virtue, not a setback, because she's able to view both her immigrant father Michel's worsening mental illness and the gradually emerging circumstances of his wartime experiences with an utterly fresh eye. She paints what she imagines. Through her art, Michel's strange and dreamlike stories begin to emerge illustrated on actual paper, providing both father and daughter new perspective on deep griefs and terrors which might help him sort himself out a little. Now if Sarah can only--literally--help him put some pieces back together . . .

Subplots concerning a neighbor boy and a schoolroom bully work better at some moments than at others, but Lowenstein's confident narration of the central plot is done with the light touch of a true child who doesn't know that she's confronting "History". No, this is Sarah's own personal story, and all Sarah cares about are her parents and friends, and the way her hand can create worlds with a pencil, and saving her father. History can go hang.

Long noted for her illustrated children's novels, Lowenstein's artwork again graces her words here. But it's her new willingness to let a little of the ugliness of the adult world shadow her characters that makes them leap off the page. Sarah, a girl you'll either want to parent or be, comes off so real that you even see the ink beneath her nails. EUGENE is the kind of book that lives in the mind long after the last page is reluctantly read.

Review Date: 2005-12-10

Sara Goldman knows that she is different. Instead of worrying about boys, makeup, and fashion, she spends her time drawing. She already knows that she will be an artist, she just has to. However, she also is different because of her father. Her father, when well, is an architect. But when he is sick, he still believes that he is hiding from the soldiers during the war. He tells Sara great stories about the people who visited him while he stayed below the barn floor. Sara adores these stories even though she knows that her father is not well. He does not even recognize her when he is sick! Sara has trouble because she thrives on his stories. She draws the characters as her father describes them, fueling his sickness. She is torn between pleasing her mother and her own curiosity about the people her father knew.

Waiting for Eugene is an easy to read novel. Readers will understand Sara's pain as she fights her mother to hear another story, even though she becomes scared of her crazy father. She loves him when he is well and the family thrives. However, just like that, her father can disappear into his fantasy world. Readers will adore this book as much as I did.

I first wanted to read this book because the girl described on the inside flap sounded like me- artistic and out-of-place with "normal" teens. Once I started reading, though, I kept reading simply because the book was well written and had an intriguing plot. The development of the characters, especially one of the central characters, who does not actually appear in the present-day setting of the novel, is surprising, and very interesting to read. Aside from Sender Unknown, Waiting for Eugene is my favorite of Sallie's books. I highly reccommend it for anyone who has ever felt outside of the "norm," and for anyone who enjoys a good story.

Waiting for Eugene, by Sallie Lowenstein (Lion Stone Books, $19; ages 12 and up) "Eugene" is just one of the mysterious presences haunting this quiet but intense novel by a local author. Twelve-year-old Sara Goldman's father, Michel, is a survivor of a wartime trauma; what war is never specified, but the flashbacks suggest Nazi-occipied France. As a little boy, Michel was hidden for many months in a hole under a barn floor. Years later, he has become a successful architect in America, but he can't stop the memories. Worse, he can't tell which of the characters populating the stories he tells Sara--Eugene, Rudi, Lili and the rest--are real and which are not. For Sara, who has always loved his tales, the realization that her father is profoundly damaged is a shock and a challenge. An uneven work in some ways,-- Sara's conversations with Willie are particularly unconvincing--Waiting for Eugene nevertheless stays with you longer than most.

In 1987 my primary/elementary school teacher made time each week to sit our class down and read us a chapter from a book of his choosing. I remember racing to get the big fluffy cushions and sitting and waiting intently for Mr MacNish to read us the next instalment.

That year "The Bodach" (or the walking stones as it is now called) was the book of his choice. I was enthralled by the story and it stayed with me well into my adult life, the concept of the second sight, the washer at the ford and the ability to cast a projection of yourself.

It has been nearly 20 years now, but I still have a copy of that book in my collection and periodically I pull it out to have a read and a remember of one of my few good School memories.

When Stone Meets Water

One of the better books I have read in the last week is THE WALKING STONES by Mollie Hunter. Set in the Scottish Highlands, this is a tale of magic and legend and how it meets the modern world.

Young Donald Campbell is exited when he learns that a hydroelectric dam will be built in his glen. The dam was foreseen by the Bodach, an old man who lives nearby. But even as Donald and the whole town become excited by the idea of the dam the Bodach declares that the glen will not be flooded until he gives his leave.

Over many seasons the dam is constructed but the Bodach refuses to move to his new home. Instead, he stays in the glen. When Royalty shows up to start the dam working, the workers shut it back down shortly after for they will not be party to the drowning of an old man. The crew then set out in pursuit of the old man, but they can never catch him. Just when they think they are close, he is suddenly on the other side of the glen.

As Donald tries to understand the Bodach's reasons, he learns of the legends surrounding the stone circle that occupies a part of the glen. The stones are said to walk to the river once every hundred years and the time is fast approaching. But then Donald learns something even more astounding, the Bodach has been training him to be his successor and will be given the second sight in a strange ritual.

THE WALKING STONES is a very entertaining book and fun for anyone who enjoys a good Celtic legend. Stone circles have figured in many tales but few have dealt with the encroachment of the modern world on a land of legend quite as well as Mollie Hunter has. And if that alone is not good enough, the finale, when Donald confronts his future and fulfills a promise to the Bodach, is alone worth the price of the book.

Stayed with me all these years!
