The Editors, NewsMax.com An enchanting story of faith and family that is as enlightening as it is encouraging. Jon Dougherty, World Net Daily A modern version of the 'morality play,' Steve Farrell's writing style is reminiscent of the 19th century literary form which was best expressed by writers like Charles Dickens and other classic writers of that eraa style of writing which has, more or less, disappeared in this country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark Rose, One of the best, June 17, 2003

By 

Jeanette (Nevada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dark Rose (Paperback)

Rose's uneven journey from darkest night to brightest day, and a community's inability to readily forgive an injured or repentant soul, whether Rose or the rich and irresponsible Bill Bayno; struck me as true to life -- and, as I see it, part of that necessary test we all must endure in mortality.

I found myself often weeping and later cheering right along side Rose. I hurt with those she caused to suffer; and prayed for those who ought to have helped her. I felt love in my heart as she disovered she could love once again.

From a literary standpoint, the author's language tends to sing throughout; and from a moral or religious standpoint, the book strengthened my faith in God and envoked moments of frequent reflection.

A wonderful novel!
