![]() By the time Lora was 20, she felt used up and hated the land that once had held so much promise and hope.Įli, heartsick with the knowledge that he has failed Lora, and deeply in debt, takes an opportunity to join a logging crew miles from home to make life easier for her. After just three short years of bliss, tragedy struck their happy home and an unending series of hardships caused Lora to withdraw from Eli and from life. She met Eli at the tender age of sixteen and they fell deeply in love, married and began to build a home on a claim of land. For a short while it seemed like all of her dreams were coming true. All she ever wanted out of life was a loving man to spend her life with and lots of children to love. I ended up finishing the book in one tear-blurred sitting. After I completed the first page I knew I was in trouble deep but there was no way I could stop myself from turning the pages. ![]() For some reason, I ignorantly assumed it would be another wild and woolly western. The review copy of A Season In Eden sneaked by my “reality” sensors with its plain red cover and it’s lack of a blurb. Reality surrounds me and if I want a good cry all I have to do is watch the news. I steer clear of mainstream “women’s fiction” for exactly this reason. I’m not a big fan of heartache and grief-filled stories and never read one if I can avoid it. ![]() A Season In Eden is the type of book that I normally avoid at all costs. ![]()
