This is a pure illustration for all the women in the world who are facing infertility, a must read story by Ms Griffin. Ava is faced to come to terms with this major issue when the man of her future, Hilton White, comes into her life. As this relationship develops, she is forced to come to grips with dealing with her problem. The supporting characters of this story helps tremendously, finally allowing Ava to not only gain the courage to accept her infertility but finds the blessing of love brings her alot more than she even imagined. We had not heard from Bettye Griffin since "At Long Last Love", and the wait was well worth it as she puts her heart into this special story. Thanks for showing us the courage this woman endures by fighting the issues of infertility.

This book captured it all. A means for all people to relate. Ava's character was that of a any caring human being. She was able to love without being bitter over her own circumstances. A true romance teaches and Ms. Griffin's book does that. I have always stated that I only liked reading historicals. Contemporary books usually sit on my shelf waiting to be read. What a treat to pick up this book and not be able to put it down. Ms. Griffin your book should be marketed as a pick me up for when you're feeling down. If you want humor its got it, if you want facts. its got it and if you want love, BOY does it have. If you like to read your romance with realistic pictures of love. This book is for you.

A LOVE OF HER OWN was written genuinely with compassion, inspiration, and true love. Heroine, Ava Maxwell was indeed cheated out of her true calling, as mother, with so much compassion and love to give any child. She befriends Marcus, a young boy headed for trouble and problems faced by so many children today, poverty, and Hilton White, not realizing the happiness the future holds for the two of them. Ms. Griffin has written a wonderful story, and this reader recommends it to all. Congratulations! Betty

This book touched me in a very personal way. I can releate to the storyline regarding not being able to have children. I felt Ava's pain and her warm love she had for children. I feel "God" has a plan for everyone and not everyone is inteneded to have children. I loved the way Hilton responded to the situation. It takes a very special man to love a women regardless if she can't bear children. I could hardly put the book down. I truely enjoyed every page. This is a must read.

A Love Of Her Own is a refreshing entry to the Arabesque line from relative newcomer Bettye Griffin. Avid fans of the multicultural will remember Ms. Griffin's first book, At Long Last Love which was her wonderful debut novel. This one is also set in Florida, but it shows another side of Ms Griffin altogether.

She shows real versatility as an author and has created a story that is timely, thought provoking and realistic without losing any of the tender romance that is a hallmark of the Arabesque line.

This is a book that you will not want to miss! I recommend it very highly as well as its predecessor, At Long Last Love. You will be very glad you have made the acquaintance of Ms Griffin

Of course, as I'm going through all of my old romance novels, I came across this one. One of my favorite romance novels. I used to read this book a lot. And now, I reaquainted myself with Ava and Hilton all over again. This story is so touching and romantic. I loved every minute of it. Too bad it's out of print, but if you could find it used, definitely pick this one up, you won't be disappointed.

this book is excellent! ms. griffin out did herself and i must say i'm not much of a reader when it comes to novels but when i first laid my eyes on it at my local library the front cover was enough to catch my attention. this book keeps you interested from the start til the end! once i had finished reading the book , i had to go back to the library and check out ALL the books ms. griffin has written! look forward to reading new novels in the future! best wishes ms. griffin!

I have to echo those who said this was a great read. This book is about an issue that is not often talked about or maybe even unheard of in the african american community:infertility. Ava's struggles touched me deeply and were dear to my heart. The way marcus showed her love despite what many view as a handicap and how she managed to still get a family was captivating.

This way my first book by Griffin. I enjoyed the book, she has a nice writting style. Even though the book did not make me want to read it nonstop, it was good. I will be sure to get her other books though! Maybe the other couples in this book have a story that would be out of this world!

Well, I dunno what all these other people were smoking when they wrote their reviews, but ah, this book was ridiculously BORING! From a young adult (18-years-old)'s point of a view, the plot of this book was sappy, drawn out to the point of boring me to tears and just not worth the five bucks I shelled out for it. So save your money for a book thats actually worth the money.
