5.0 out of 5 stars
A superbly crafted novel of the first order,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Waters of Marah (The Appleton Series, Book 1) (Paperback)
Sylvia Bambola's Waters Of Marah is the novel of Gloria Bickford, a young woman who feels inadequate compared to the legend of her actress and beauty queen mother. In what Gloria feels is a response to the call of God, she leaves behind life her in tiny hometown and experiences the ways of the city - yet when Gloria is caught in a crucible that pits business and emotional interests against one another, her true purpose in striking out on her own may turn out to be dramatically different than what she expected. A superbly crafted novel of the first order, Waters Of Marah is very highly recommended reading.
