5.0 out of 5 stars A sweet and touching story, May 22, 2001
By 
Susan Smith (A small rural village in the English Midlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Reunion (Homespun) (Paperback)
Family reunion is a lovely, gentle and touching story with a thoroughly likeable H/H. The hero, Chad, is particularly attractive and it is rewarding to watch him come to terms with his huge disability. How he does this, supported by a particularly feisty heroine, Jennifer, is well worth the read. The other characters are strong and well drawn.

The only quibble I have is that the actions the lead characters take, the situations they deal with and, most especially, their sexual behaviour is rather out of synch for the timeframe (I believe it is meant to be the 1890s). Although this is somewhat of a distraction, if you can get past this, then the storyline is strong, the prose pretty good and you will enjoy the book.

A further problem is, again, one of synch. The hero faces a pretty big challenge for he is severely disabled (paralysed and in a wheelchair). In those times, a man who had an accident and injury such as his would been unlikely to survive or, at least, for very many years. If you compare his experiences to those of Mac McCandless in A Man Like Mac, (eg bladder problems which in the 1890s would have been, probabably, fatal) you will see what I mean. The heroine handles him very well but, again, she is out of context of her times I think and the author does use some rather "politically correct" terminology in describing the situation. However, they are a truly likeable pair and you can't help but be pleased for their personal outcome.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Strong and Beautiful Americana Romance, March 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: FAMILY REUNION (Kindle Edition)
"Jill Metcalf has written a strong and beautiful Americana romance populated with characters the audience will love and wish to emulate. The author's handling of the male protagonist's handicap is nothing short of incredible and she should be congratulated for tackling a sensitive issue in such a tender and finely tuned romance" ...
