5.0 out of 5 stars Not What I Expected., March 24, 2000

By

Marc Abla - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Meeting Place (Song of Acadia #1) (Paperback)

I have been a collector of Janette Oke's books since her first books were published. I haven't read any of her co-authored books until this one. I loved her other books so well I was afraid the co-authored books wouldn't be as good. I was wrong! I loved this book and like the other reviewers, can't wait to get my hands on the sequel. I am ready to go out and buy her other co-authored books to add to my collection now. I would recommend any of Janette Oke's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars I agree, it's their best so far!, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Meeting Place (Song of Acadia #1) (Paperback)

I loved the storyline, but I also was really drawn into the characters, and almost felt as if they were friends of mine. I identified deeply with the two ladies, and I felt their conflicts. I've read all of Janette Oke's books, and all of their combined efforts, and this one touched my heart the most.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please, tell me there's a sequel!, March 21, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Meeting Place (Song of Acadia #1) (Paperback)

I have read many Janette Oke books, but this was, by far, the best. It means nothing to me about historical accuracy, but another reviewer was absolutely right when she said that it's a story about how racism and hatred can hurt innocent people. But God's love was shown beautifully through 2 women of different cultures. This book had more quality storyline than any previous books by the same author. The only down side was the book ended and I was left crying my eyes out! I would certainly hope that Janette Oke & T Davis Bunn will write a sequel!
