Author Kay Smith-Blum has taken on a poignant and challenging subject in her novel, Tangles, putting her characters in one of the most radioactive places in the United States – Hanford, Washington. Two timelines, two main protagonists, layers of depth in her storytelling, Smith-Blum’s characters are so believable, you’d think they were real people who lived through that disturbing piece of history. A right place-wrong time period if ever there was one. Thoroughly researched, Tangles highlights the disturbing fallout of the nuclear age on innocent lives so deftly, it’s hard to put down once you start it. A historical fiction, a mystery, a love story, a tragedy. . . Tangles is all of that, and more.
Mira’s marriage is sound. Her husband is considerate and loving. So why is she unhappy? What’s going on with her? That is the crux of In Search of Sisters. Fortunately, Mira's five-week European getaway, which her husband supported and encouraged, will help her find the answers to what troubles her. Although we get to travel with Mira to some of the most classical landmarks of London, Paris and Italy, this is a story that is more dedicated to the inner journey. Mira meets and bonds with other women who offer her the understanding and network she lacked. Through Mira’s observations and self-reflection, interspersed with conversations she has with women she calls her sisters, we get to know Mira as she finds her way, a kind-hearted, generous person who is happiest when she is helping others. This is an uplifting story filled with optimism for personal growth and finding peace with destiny.
Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino’s approach to success is all-encompassing—comprehensive without being extreme—where self-introspection is the better alternative to coasting in neutral. Her guidance and strategic tools can apply to anyone at any point in their life and are measured by doing what makes one happy rather than the perception of others. I love the A-words. For me, as an author, it’s Actualize and Allow. I’m keeping those two words on my desk whenever I write and need a reminder. Success cannot be wrapped up in a box. It is open and generous and free to all who embrace it. I enjoyed reading the stories of people overcoming difficulties and making a plan. We can all learn from one another. The Success Guidebook is as insightful as it is practical.
Have a wonderful summer everyone, and thank you for spending some time with me.
Happy Reading!
