I wasn't able to put this book down!,
By
This review is from: Love Finds You in Humble, Texas (Paperback)
Anita Higman is a skilled story teller. Get this book and enjoy it!
What I liked about Love Finds You in Humble, Texas: 1 -- Anita Higman has crafted the book so that it is a real page turner. I was thinking I'd read another chapter and stop. At the end of almost every chapter, there is compelling reason to read the next one and the next one and the next one. 2 -- The author accurately portrays the feelings of a person who thinks she is a nobody,despite the evidence that proves otherwise. She really gets inside that mindset. If the reader has ever felt that pain or if the reader has wondered how people with the problem think, this book can serve as a resource. For example, Trudie, the main character, is at an art show, her presentation of her art work. She is supposed to be the star, but she heaps a big pile of food on her plate and eats it in the shadows while she watches other women flirt with her boyfriend. Higman does a beautiful job of showing the feelings of a person who suffers from finding herself inadequate. 3 -- Higman leads us to suspend reality and believe that someone perfect could fall in love with someone who sees herself as hopelessly flawed, even though she isn't. The result is that the reader can hope for a better life. Every lonely unattached woman who reads this entertaining little treasure of a romance can dream of a prince charming who will take her away. Wonderful! What could have been better about the Humble romance: 1 -- The point of view skips around and about. Perhaps there is a pattern here I failed to recognize. Too many restrictions may have hurt the story telling. I'm sorry I'm a stickler about this element. 2 -- Sometimes characters, like a helpful uncle or a kitchen full of aunts, just pop up. I needed time to prepare my mind for these people. I realize, however, that part of the craft of the story is the element of surprise, which is difficult to achieve in a genre that is expected to end in a predictable way. I found this Christian romance entertaining reading.

What happens when two sisters fall in love with the same man?,
By Irene B. Brand "Irene Brand" (West Virginia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Finds You in Humble, Texas (Paperback)
Trudie Abernathy has never equaled her sister, Lane, in sophistication, style or looks. Lane also has the most successful romantic life. But Trudie couldn't care less! She's devoted to her volunteer work at a local children's hospital and to her daily work at a ladies shop with the delightful name of Bloomers Boutique. At one time Trudie had been a successful artist, but a family tragedy caused her to abandon her gift.
Then Trudie and Lane both develop a romantic attachment for Mason Wimberly. Readers will love this fast-paced romance story, wondering how the love triangle can be resolved without breaking the strong sisterly bond between Trudie and Lane. The lively dialogue, the vivid settings and inspirational theme all contribute to make Love Finds You in HUMBLE, Texas a pleasuraable and unforgettable reading experience.

Anita Higman knows Humble, Texas!,
By
This review is from: Love Finds You in Humble, Texas (Paperback)
Love Finds You In Humble Texas is set in a town very near and dear to my heart. You see, I live about five miles from Humble. It is also the social hub of east Montgomery County. Heck, you can't even see a picture show unless you go to Humble.
Main character, Trudie Abernathy agrees to a blind date set up by her sister, Lane. The date turns into a romance, just in time for Lane to decide she's in love with the man, Mason. Trudie backs off from the relationship even though Mason is obviously falling in love with her. One particular scene has Mason wooing Trudie at the boutique where she works. He figures out that he is being shunned by the woman of his dreams and vows to find out what has happened. "So, something happened between the time I dropped you off last night and the time you arrived here this morning. And being a great lover of mysteries, I intend to find out what it is." He turned and strode to the door. "And in the meantime, prepare yourself, Miss Abernathy." She blinked. "For what?" Mason cocked an eyebrow. "To be romanced." Trudie picked up a sheet of paper off the counter and fanned her face. "Are your cheeks tingling again?" He opened the front door. "Yes." "Good." And on that note, Mason grinned and walked out the front door of Bloomers Boutique. LOVE FINDS YOU IN HUMBLE TEXAS made me finally realize what it is I love so much about Anita Higman's writing. Her books remind me of my two favorite Larry McMurtry novels, TERMS OF ENDEARMENT and THE EVENING STAR! Perhaps it's because all the books I've mentioned, including these two McMurtry novels are set in places very close to my heart. And after all, who wouldn't adore walking the streets of Humble or Houston in another person's skin and mind. Maybe I just love Higman and McMurtry's strong female main characters and the self-made male characters who try to tame them. Hmm, interesting thought. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read and a very satisfying happily ever after.
