#1 New York Times bestselling author Johanna Lindsay presents
a powerfully romantic Regency-era tale that is breathtaking in scope
and wondrously passionate.
When Sebastian Townshend, son of the eighth Earl of Edgewood, was banished from his family due to the tragic results of a duel, he vowed never to return to England. Now living on the continent, Sebastian has forged a new identity as a deadly mercenary, The Raven. But his former neighbor, Lady Margaret Landor, has different plans for him. Back in England, Sebastian's father has had several accidents and Margaret suspects foul play and deception that reach as far back as the infamous duel. Convinced that only Sebastian can set the situation to rights, Margaret arranges a scandalous bargain with him that includes Sebastian's returning home as her husband. As the newlyweds uncover a deadly scheme, a fierce passion blossoms between them, which neither anticipated -- and neither can resist.

Summary: Medical treatment for Polio, Psychology & Beauty
Comment: Upon first reading this wonderful story of Medical care, Psychology & Beauty I became saddened. I wondered how it could become more compelling? As got the teenager Dianna who had been born in her mother's Iron Lung, I noted she came to be the narrator. Her Mother, Paige could only move her head requiring the continual respirator and personal care day and night.
Her care-givers were Peacie a loving black woman during the day. Mrs Gruder at night along with Diana, who always awakened during the early hours to her Mother's voice. Every few weeks the Social Worker Susan, came by to check on Peacie, Paige & Diana. It was during those times that Peacie & Diana lied about who was taking care of Paige during the night.
Each person expressed their feelings of love and cocer for each other. I noted the author's use of psychology in the relationships of Diana & her friend, Suralee. They created plays about their neighbors, enemies and shop owners related to their parents.
Iris Johanson created a sub-plot of Civil Rights' marches which LaRue & Li'l Bit joined for voters' rights! Crucial times were all contrasted with the peacefulness of Paige, Peacie & Diana. Not long after this the family was forced to find new care-takers.
When I came to the surprise ending, Paige is able to enter College and graduate. There are hopeful scenes of "redemptive beauty" as Paige comes to "see the light everywhere!" In spite of all her obstacles she succeeds in seeing the inner beauty of life! With gratitude,
Retired Chaplan Fred W Hood

Summary: Picked up on a whim, no regrets
Comment: I picked this up off the discount table at the bookstore, was headed out for summer vacation and it looked like an interesting read for the beach. I have to say I don't normally read this author but the premise for this book sounded interesting to me. I was not dissappointed, really enjoyed the story and when I realized it was based loosely on a women's real past history, that just made it even more interesting. It was a quick read, which will leave you somewhat sad, and wondering how would I have dealt with something like this.

Summary: The best book I read all year - and I read a lot!
Comment: I love this book - and I haven't been a particular fan of Elizabeth Berg. Great on detail, but not a particularly good storyteller. However, someone gave this to me and I read it in two sittings. Absolutely riveting and (the best part)- the greatest ending ever (Don't peek!!!) Totally out of the blue and perfect. The character of the girl (the narrator) is the most "true to life" since Frankie in Carson McCuller's "Member of the Wedding." Wonderful, the best.

Summary: extremely well done!
Comment: Wow - this book is just too sad. Not that I dislike sad books because there are many that are so beautifully tragic, but this story was so hard to endure because it was very dark and depressing. I felt so badly for the characters, especially knowing that they were loosely based on true people. Still, anytime I read an Elizabeth Berg book, I marvel at how very well-written they are, and this one is no exception. Attention to detail is inpeccible, as always, and the characters are drawn so well that the reader feels as though they are friends/neighbors.

Summary: Amazing!
Comment: Although fiction, the book was based on a real situation as suggested by a reader. I think knowing that lends credibility to the amazing strength of Paige's character. For me, the various relationships between the central characters made the book especially interesting because they exhibited such different types of love and commitment. For example, it was fairly obvious that Diana loved her mother and vice versa, yet the strong affection that Peacie and Diana had for each other was less obvious as they always appeared to be at odds. Also enjoyable were the escapades of Diana and her girlfriend Suralee as they put on plays for the community and experienced an evening with some local boys. Overall, this was a very enjoyable read.
