This review is from: A Time For Jonathan (Paperback)

A Time for Jonathan is the sequel to A Place for Ida that will surely keep you guessing. Author Patricia Richardson has the eye for details when it comes to creating a life within pages. Ida and Billy return in the sequel married with a son, but soon things go from great to worse and then the unthinkable. Their son Jonathan is without a doubt a trouble child, is has demonic tendencies. Ida believes he is cursed with demons from the family's past and tries to heal him with love from a mother. She soon fails pushing Billy and all of friends and Family away. With Jonathan getting worse Billy tries to take over with only Ida giving up on their son and doing the unthinkable. This story is heart whelming and I feel the emotions these characters were living. If you have read a place for Ida this sequel will keep you intrigued only to come to a screeching halt when the novel comes to a surprising end.

This review is from: A Time For Jonathan (Paperback)

"A Time For Jonathan" written by Patricia Richardson is the sequel to the novel "A Place for Ida". This is a story that is totally gripping and undeniably enthralling. The theme revolves around Ida and her young son, Jonathan and the thought-provoking problems that escalate within the family.

Jonathan , a beautiful little boy is born to Billy and Ida. As a young married couple, they definitely have tremendous love for each other and are so proud of their newborn son. However, once Jonathan is enrolled in a child care facility, his teachers relate to his parents some very serious problems and difficulties. When these tragic occurrences take place, life for the Jasper Family rapidly declines - especially when Ida's mental capacity deteriorates and Billy has quite a few sexual rendezvous' and starts drinking heavily.

This novel will definitely capture the readers' attention, as well as entertain from start to finish.
