Ms. Collins' command of characterization is nothing less than phenomenal. Every individual in the story is someone who could live down the street, and yet so intriguingly drawn that there is nothing ordinary about any of them. This is the kind of book that wets your appetite for more with every page turned, and yet contains too much meat for a single sitting. Be prepared to get cozy once you open the book. You'll be sitting for a long time, then reluctantly step away to get on with "real life," longing for the moment when you can return to the printed page. Your emotions will be tugged every which way until the end, a satisfying conclusion to a gourmet meal.

My advice? Get your hands on anything Ms. Collins has written. You won't be disappointed.

No matter what the genre, Brandilyn Collins knows how to captivate her audience. "Cast a Road Before Me" is set in the little town of Bradleyville, Kentucky. Jesse goes to live with her aunt and uncle when her mother dies. All the while, Jesse is looking forward to moving to the big city where she will make a career out of helping people. What she doesn't plan on is falling in love or caring so much about the town of Bradleyville. Once you enter Bradleyville, you won't want to leave either! Pick up "Color a Sidewalk for Me" and "Capture the Wind for Me" to spend more time with the background characters in this novel. It will definitely be worth your time.

Most of her books are very intense, so it was a nice break from that, and really showed what a great writer she is!

This book came in very good condition and was inexpensive. I have enjoyed other books by Brandilyn Collins and I especially like it that there are no swear words.

Known mostly for her seatbelt suspense, Brandilyn Collins also pens haunting women's fiction. Cast a Road Before Me could almost be classified as a coming of age tale. Deep, complex emotions characterize Collins' writing. I loved Cast a Road Before Me and give it a high recommendation.

I enjoyed this book tremendously!! A really good story, and great examples of how God answers our prayers!
