Rebecca Warner

The Lady of Miremox tries to protect her town and daughter by using magic but each time she does at what price. The story is written in a way that you see the characters perspective of what is happening. Lady Mirefox struggles to do what she feels is right but can be so terribly difficult. I enjoy books that you go back and forth between the characters. The book is can be a bit long winded at times but a very easy read. I actually went back and forth from audible to reading the actual print book.… (mehr)

I really wanted to like this one. The novel is from a Southern author and takes place in a Southern setting, both things I appreciate. Plus, I was fortunate enough to win this book via Goodreads Giveaways. And the author was kind enough to sign the book, as well as to include a lovely bookmark, as well as a hand-written note.

All of that said, I only made it to page 122 of 278 before I had to call it quits. The story is the fruit of author Rebecca Warner’s time as a home caregiver for her parents, and it shows. While there is much to learn here about the struggles of ailing parents, something which all of us will likely deal with at some point in our lives, the novel read a bit more like a diary of Warner’s experiences. Perhaps a memoir, infused with a bit more emotion, would have been a better outlet for this tale.

I can recommend this one as immensely valuable for those desiring of learning what it’s like to care for a parent in your home. If you’re looking for moving fiction, this would not be the one to choose.

Regardless, a hearty thank you to Rebecca Warner, Black Rose Writing, and Goodreads Giveaways for the complimentary copy of the book.… (mehr)
