World class scholar and Chairman of the Georgetown University History Department,Tsuru was raised as a Japanese expatriate mostly in Brazil. He bestows upon Daisy the honor of honing his passion for this most exotic place of his youth into a documentary destined to be a crown jewel in his academic life. Tsuru's passion is contagious and his project puts Daisy on a trajectory she could never have imagined. Through those she mets and is with in Brazil, Isabel, Charlie , Luis and her beloved Clay, Daisy experiences fear, heartbreak, true love and discovers her both her own history and destiny. For those of us along for the ride it's a darned good read!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A compelling read with twists,
By Bonnie Rankin (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coming Together (Paperback)
Getting lost in a novel is one of life's simple joys, and this novel sets up that kind of delight perfectly. I quickly came to care about Daisy and her professional and personal quests, and even caught myself worrying on her behalf at times. Some twists are foreshadowed and others are not, which makes for an engaging read. I read this book in a single afternoon, delighted to get lost in beautiful Brazil for a few hours. But now I'm really curious what Clay is up to...

Coming Together,
By
This review is from: Coming Together (Paperback)
A recently divorced filmmaker treks to Brazil on a job and finds love...but not just romantic love. When visiting an orphanage, she falls in love with a baby and decides to adopt him. Now, with two loves in her life, her struggles begin. The reader fights alongside, eager for every twist and turn the author reveals.This is a great read, fast and easy, yet filled with almost unbelievable complicated events. The reader learns surprising information about Brazil and its culture, but more importantly, in the end, witnesses love's triumph. This is a book with heart and I loved every page!
