Love To Water My Soul (Dreamcatcher)

Rating:
Summary: very real,taught me about Ore rich history and God's love
Review: I had never read Jane before and have since read all her books.I have met her,she care deeply for the native Americans, Oregon, and God. Her books bring the time period to life and make you ponder to many of life's truths. I gave this book to a teacher friend who is making it required reading in her highschool English class, (here in Ore)! I'm so glad I've discovered Jane and look foward to her series on pioneer women.

Summary: One of my all time favorite books but her others were not.
Review: I loved this book and it gave me the paradigm to see my everyday world differently. I even went through my journals and saw what seemed so bad at the time, that it was for the best in the long run. I just loved her book and became totally absorbed by it. Her female character was strong and brave. After reading it, I couldn't wait to devour all of her other novels in print in 1999. They did not meet the extrodinary writing of Love to Water my Soul.

Summary: Human resilience and hope
Review: Love to Water My Soul has become one of my all time favorite books. I recommend it to anyone who asks for a good book idea. Jane Kirkpatrick's writing shows the resilience of a child and as she grows, an adult. It brought me to tears of sadness, but then of joy. There are so many beautifully written scenes in this book, I had to copy them down in my journal to reread...my one surprise is that Hollywood hasn't turned it in to a movie yet!

Summary: Nice story, but a little slow in the beginning
Review: This book tells a very nice story (summarized in other reviews). However, I had some trouble getting started with the book as I found it a little slow in the beginning. I found the writing to be a little bit "flowery" and sometimes wished the author was a little more direct. But overall a good book.
