The Long Road Home

Summary: Great book...blah ending
Review: This book was a definate page turner, I had a very hard time putting it down. This could have turned out to be so much more though. I would have love to have seen Gabrielle make it on her own utlizing her talents and degree from Columbia. I had to roll my eyes when she came into money and met the handsome young doctor. Kind of underminded the whole triumph over tragedy plot.

Summary: A Great Read!
Review: This is a good book by romantic standards, and a decent book by my standards. The abuse that Gabriella suffered was realistically written and so was the way Steel described the scars that it left on her character. I liked most of the characters and the book was fast paced. However, I find a sexual relationship between a priest and an almost-nun disgusting. I didn't like the priest and found him to a weakling. I also didn't like that through out the book Gabriella was constantly leaning on a man to give meaning to her life. It would have been nice to see her be more independent. All in all I say this book is worth reading.

Summary: One of her most inspiring stories
Review: This is one of Steel's most inspiring stories EVER. What you'll read in the pages of this book will make you cringe & cry. You'll feel exactly as this young girl does, confused as to why her mother seemingly hates her. However sad this story though, it's truly about survival & making a life for yourself beyond your past abuses. I think this is an excellent story & I'd really recommend reading it!
