Summary: Perfectly Drawn Characters
Review: Bev Marshall has a knack for perfectly drawing her characters with her skill with the written word as a fiction writer. You can almost see the colors as the characters come to life. I'm left wanting to know what happens in Crow's life. What a woman! Overcoming obstacles placed in her way, weaving paths around them for a way of escape (if need by). What else is life anyway? Love this book. Kept me drawn in. And Bev is from a town just down the highway from me.

Summary: "Right as Rain" is Right On!
Review: Bev Marshall has a way of drawing you into the lives of the characters who people her books. Right as Rain is no exception. This is one of the first books in which a certain turn of events actually made me angry at the author. A turn in my favorite character's life made me absolutely furious! Thus, her knack for drawing you in completely. Several hours later I forgave Ms. Marshall but was haunted for days with the question, "I wonder what happened next in their lives?!" I want more! More of your beautiful, enigmatic characters! More of their life experiences!

Summary: A PERFECT MOTHER'S DAY GIFT
Review: My daughter gave me a copy of RIGHT AS RAIN for Mother's Day, and it was one of the best gifts I've ever received. The novel brought back so many wonderful memories of my childhood. Marshall is a gifted author with the ability to paint such vivid pictures with her prose that reading a scene is like living it! The voices in the novel were so right on, black and white, adults and children, Marshall tackled them all beautifully. I couldn't believe it when I saw on the book jacket that she's a white writer. Her understanding and sympathy for the plight of African Americans during the civil rights era showed in every line. Thank you, Bev Marshall for this wonderful gift. Can't wait for your next one.
