Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2000

Delve into the world of Solomon, his lovely yet powerful wife, her mother Countess, friends Rosalyn (a.k.a. "Honey") and Pearl (a.k.a. "Sister"). It's about relationships. Private journals. Then there's George Landris...smooth, intelligent (among other things). But just where--how does he fit in all of this?

The Rose of Jericho: Intense, compelling, revealing, thought-provoking, heartwarming, funny, true-to-life, and yes, it does tell it like it is...and was. They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but go ahead--judge this book!

I can't get enough of Vanessa's books - What a story she tells from book one incoporating her characters from book to book. Being a christain I enjoy the way she included scripture verses - she started me back to reading my bible more. In order to enjoy and benefit from her books - I started with her Trinity series, but found out that there was a begining and gone back and read everything she has written since then and before. The first book to start with is the Rose of Jericho and continue until you are waiting for her next printing - which I'm waiting for now. I'm telling everyone about her, espically, my christian sisters. All I have to say, Vanessa keep writing because as long as you writing I will be reading your works - God Bless you!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars The Rose of Jericho, July 26, 2000

By 

Wendy (Journey's End) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Rose of Jericho (Paperback)

I found the book to be kind of wordy, and I am not used to reading a novel written in journal form. Even though I often found my self re-reading some of the journal entries in the book, having to pay such attention to detail, caused me to really read every word written, thus getting a more lasting impression of what I had just read.
