5.0 out of 5 stars Put Warmth in Your Heart and Pride in Your Soul, December 19, 1999

By 

Carol A. Gillespie (Albany, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Never Ending (Paperback)

In "Never Ending", Marianne Martin continues her excellent ability to develop strong, competent characters within a magical, entertaining story. This sequel to "Legacy of Love", is a touching love story, a historical novel, and a celebration of the strength of the human spirit and of confident, caring women, all in one unforgettable book. Ms. Martin depicts Sage Bristo's extraordinary effort to save her Native American heritage as a member of the Seneca's Clan of the Doe and, in the process, takes the reader through a gamut of emotions involving serious problems with her partner, Deanne and tense, life-threatening events with family members. This is a real, warm story with graceful and brave characters that will make you proud to be a woman. A worthy successor to her earlier books and I'm eagerly looking forward to the next. Thanks Marianne.

5.0 out of 5 stars OH MY GODDESS!, July 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Never Ending (Paperback)

WHEW! What a follow-up to LEGACY OF LOVE. To say it is touching is putting it mildly. If you believe that love triumphs over all, conquers hatred,fear and despair- heals wounds, then this book is definitely for you. It brought me to tears and has left me with such sweet and haunting memories. I only wish there were five more stars available for rating. READ!

5.0 out of 5 stars Never Ending is one book that is a must read., August 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Never Ending (Paperback)

In Never Ending we meet Sage Bristo and Deanne Demore from Legacy of Love. Sage must face the end of the Clan of the Dove unless she or Cimmie have a child. Marianne Martin does her usual exceptional job of creating a book that is a must read and one that ends too soon. I could have wished for 100 more pages. Don't miss this!!!
