Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Caught up in the responsibilities of her job and the incessant demands of her elderly mother, mayor Emily Warwick doesn't allow herself to dream. Then there's her younger sister Jessica, who's about to walk down the aisle with a man their mother despises. It doesn't help that Emily's still mourning the husband she lost and wondering what happened to the baby she gave up for adoption twenty years ago. Sometimes she thinks it would take a miracle to fill the hole in her heart.

But miracles do happen in Cape Light. You just have to close your eyes--and believe in your dreams.

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing change..., January 15, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Home Song (Cape Light, Book 2) (Hardcover)

I enjoyed Home Song immensely. It is a refreshing change from many books on the shelves today. If you are are looking for some light, clean-cut reading about simple life in a small town, start with Cape Light then read Home Song. Hopefully, soon we will find out when the 3rd book in the trilogy will be out. If you like Jan Karon's books about Mitford, I am sure you will like Cape Light and Home Song.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cape Light is a light to the reader, January 4, 2003

This review is from: Home Song (Cape Light, Book 2) (Hardcover)

While I found this story a little naive in regards to the probability of the outcome, it was a welcome relief from the usual drivel sold on the bookshelves nowadays. I am so tired of graphic sex and violence and these authors, along with B.J.Hoff and the Thoenes, prove that we can read good, engrossing stories without having our intelligence insulted. It's one I will keep in my collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars A HOMEY, SMALL TOWN STORY, December 8, 2003

This review is from: Home Song (Cape Light, Book 2) (Hardcover)

Cape Light is the kind of place where you'd like to spend some time getting to know its inhabitants and enjoy the scenery. It's a town where people hold secrets and pain in their hearts as well as their secret longings. But it's also about people trying to get through the everyday struggles of living and working together. Of course there are those who rub you wrong, as the case is with Charlie, who is not only running against Emily for Mayor, but is doing so in an underhanded manner. And then there is her mother, Lilian, who is against Emily's sister Jessica, who plans to marry Ben. Lillian thinks that Ben isn't good enough for her daughter. They are characters you might judge at first glance, but come to realize the pain and guilt that compels them to act as they do. Much like real people react to mistakes they've made. This story holds secrets to the way we can respond in a possitive or negative way to our wrong choices and how they affect others. This is a good read!
