Long Road Turning (Five Star Standard Print First Edition Romances)

Summary: Long Road Turning is Worth the Trip
Review: If you enjoy western novels, such as Little House on the Prairie and Lonesome Dove, you will enjoy this novel by Irene Bennett Brown. From the moment you begin reading, you are drawn into the lives of her characters---from main character Meg and her tumultuous past, to lives of orphans Lucy Ann and Lad, to the antagonist, rancher Jack Ambler. Romance is quietly woven throughout the story, but is not a main focus of the novel. Brown writes simply, with no bad language or sex. And the lives of her characters are believable, as well as her description of wild, western Kansas in the late 1800's. This is a book you will love and even your grandma could read and enjoy.

Summary: Heartwarming Characters
Review: Irene Bennett Brown wastes no time in engaging the reader with heart-warming characters and a suspenseful, yet logical plot. This book is a marvel of accuracy in depicting details of homesteading. The story races right along, yet evolves so logically from real life/real time situations that the reader is never in doubt that her characters set-backs and triumphs could have happened just the way she describes. It is to Brown's credit and enormous skill that her lean pared prose still gives a masterful portrait of sympathetic characters worth writing about.
