    An alcoholic, a perfectionist, a single mother, and an aunt all feature prominently in this read Two sisters deal with issues stemming from their past which intrude into their present, and getting over them takes the love of each other, their mother, and their aunt.This is women s literature that makes the reader smile, weep, and root for the characters of Jamie, Kate, Ellie, and Nina Choices and events plague them all, but together they can do just about anything.

    The Sandpiper is for mature readers Some profanity is involved, and a few incidents of violence occur, although not described in depth This did not change my high opinion of this book I would classify this novel as Edgy Christian fiction as there are Christian components throughout.Susan Lovell is a new to me author What originally compelled me to purchase The Sandpiper is the fact that the story is based in West Michigan, my home I will not miss any of Susan Lovell s future books Her writing st [...]

    Sitting on my boat on a warm sunnny day, people stopping by to chat and I couldn t seem to put down this book The author totally engaged me from the first pages I felt that I was at my friends cottage on Lake Michigan and was a part of this family The story is heart warming yet informative in a subtle way so that each of us can relate to and understand the problems that are associated with addictions whether we are the addict, family, friend or an acquaintence.
