I've noticed some people dislike that, personally I love a little magic sprinkled into my fiction so I loved it.<br /><br />Victoria's story is one of redemption, of learning to live and to love, of failure and forgiveness. It reads, to me, as a deeply personal work for the author, which is not surprising given her history of fostering and her involvement with The Camellia Network. This is not a light read - certainly not chick lit or a beach read. It is, however, a deeply involving novel which touched me deeply. Definitely one to at least give a chance to: and to return to my original point, one of which it is well worth downloading the sample.Eestihttp://appreciatelifevenmore.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979252405466208842.post-49844294394415521612011-11-11T08:07:51.571+10:002011-11-11T08:07:51.571+10:00BeautifulBeautifulMorgan☾https://www.blogger.com/profile/17295042938635907559noreply@blogger.com
