Summary: Many things happening in this book. Brisk pace.
Review: Ellen Jameson's eternal optimism is severely challenged lately. Five years after her husband's early death to cancer, she has had to sell their home and move in with her mother, Wilma, her own daughter, Amber, and granddaughter, Jet, in tow. Whilel Jet is a charmer, Amber has a chronically bad attitude and is struggling between independence and neediness. Wilma believes in serial monogamy and may be turned out of her home before too long. Her last husband did not change his will before his death, and now his children want the house Wilma is entitled to. Ellen does manage to find a job, and her mother thinks that marrying the boss would solve all her daughter's problems. However, when Wilma goes to play matchmaker, she finds the boss more attractive to herself than to Ellen. Amber is dealing with problems at work, wanting to move out and abandon her child, and a sudden reappearance of an old friend who could very well turn out to be more than an old friend. She also has to deal with the prejuidices she herself harbors about her mixed race child and the ones she imagines are against them. ***** Of course, all of that is only the tip of the iceberg. There are a few assorted other problems, health crises, and the kitchen sink to face before the last page is turned. Ms. Morsi has long been a talented writer, but with her debut in contemporary women's fiction, she has truly come into her own. You will laugh through the tears reading this book. Wilma is a hoot, plain and simple. I wish she was young enough to star in a continuing series. Anyone who has faced a life full of changes and challeges will sympathize so much with Ellen that at times the novel will hit too close to home. Yet, in her triumph over the odds, you will find affirmation and hope. ***** Reviewed by Amanda Killgore.

Summary: Not the best I've ever seen
Review: i have been a long time fan of Pamela Morsi and I found this book to be a huge disappointment. Her earlier work, the historical romances she did, were wonderful uplifting stories of people falling in love and coming to terms with who they were. I found this book negative and depressing. I hope Pamela Morsi returns to her usual good work

Summary: A Disappointment
Review: I have read all of Morsi's books. Her earlier historical romances were simply wonderful. They had great characterizations, humor and moving story lines. Letting Go had great characterizations but at the end of the book I wanted to ask what was the point of all the characterizations-the story wasn't worth all of the effort. Recently I read Simple Jess and it was rich, poignant, and the way she crafted the story was masterful. I hope she will return to her writing roots. I miss my favorite author.

Summary: Excellent Read!
Review: I loved this book! I have also read Doing Good by the same author but liked Letting Go much better. The characters were very interesting, including the minor characters, which is sometimes rare. This book held my interest throughout and continually surprised me. I highly recommend it!

Summary: A Very Good Read!
Review: I really enjoyed this book. One of the best contemporary women's books I have read in a long time. Couldn't put it down. Interesting to see 4 generations of women trying to get along in life in some troubled times. Complex and delightful charachters. It made me laugh and it made me cry. I could relate to each charachter in a different way. Made me see the importance of family and family love. Highly Recomended!!! Can't wait to read more of Pamela Morsi's books. This was my first one.

Summary: She has written better
Review: I surely hope that Ms. Morsi goes back to what she does best and that is writing Americana stories.
Her contemporary novels are sad and dull to say the least.
The only reason I've kept reading is because I spent top dollar for it.

Summary: Too much whining!
Review: The book was about a family of women and the problems that they have to overcome- individually and as a family. The problem I had with this book that there was too much whining and not enough good things. I know that doesn't make sense but the characters were downers. They all had great things going for them but they didn't communicate enough with each other and in the end very little was resolved. The only character who I liked completely was Brent, a family friend who might (or might not) have a crush on the 22 year old. To be honest, it seemed like a set up for a sequel.
Rating: 
Summary: Loved it!
Review: This book made me a Morsi fan! If this is not her best book, I have a lot of great reading ahead of me! This book shows how a family can lose touch and how they can come together again. Bad things can happen and it takes a family a long time to overcome a death in the family, if they ever overcome! Relationships take work. Morsi showed several generations of strong females in one family making the best of things. I loved it and highly recommend this book!
