Reviews
This is a diverse novel, set in a small East Texas town. There is mystery, marital trouble, tragedy, love, laughter and friendship, all the elements of a great book.
The people are all very different, yet they blend beautifully. You can really believe that they are real people that you may know. But mainly it’s about friendships, integrity, and love.
Most importantly, they get the bad guys in the end, and you feel good about the ending…a nice thing!
Seeds of Bliss is a roller coaster ride and a great read. I hope this author gives us more!
