The last thing Laura Dunbar needs is another problem. So when she receives a letter from the daughter she placed for adoption thirty years ago, she panics. Jennifer Lang made contact with her birth father, Gary Frederick, a year ago. Now Jennifer wants to know if lightning can strike twice in the same place. But Laura’s twenty-year marriage to Curt Dunbar is on the rocks. She is fed up with catering to her control-freak husband’s every whim. Relations with her other two children, especially her daughter, are strained. Then there is the problem of Curt’s aged, ailing mother, who can no longer live alone. No matter what Laura decides, someone will be unhappy. On the other hand, Laura has spent most of her life pleasing other people. Isn’t it time she pleased herself?

Motivational!,
By
This review is from: The Red Sea Place (Paperback)
"The Red Sea Place" opens with the main character, Laura, receiving "the letter that would change her life forever." The last sentence of the book reaffirms that Laura has indeed changed. In the 229 pages between, Laura faces many pressing personal problems with her two daughters and her adopted daughter, that daughter's father, Laura's husband, and her husband's elderly and ill mother. There's much good and realistic dialogue, considerable self-analysis, and interesting dilemmas. But Laura survives, grows, learns much, and becomes more self-sufficient. The book is a fast, easy, and engaging read. Recommended.

Learning Through A Good Story,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Red Sea Place (Paperback)
"The Red Sea Place" is a well paced intelligent novel about a modern family that all family members can learn from and identify with. I was sorry to reach the last page and will miss the ongoing contact with the characters in the story. I gained new perspectives from this book and will look forward to a sequel.
