5.0 out of 5 starsGives real meaning to the word hope...
By emt0402 on October 4, 2001
Format: Hardcover
I usually never read sequels, even in biographies. They never seem to measure up to the first book. But this is definitely not the case in "Still Waters".
Jennifer Lauck picks up right where she left off in "Blackbird". From there, she and her brother are kept apart and sent from family member to family member. Mostly following her heart, Jennifer grows up and slowly gets passed her childhood.
With a life story left unfinished in "Blackbird", Lauck once again has opened her heart and her history to share her story. What once left us in heartbreak now teaches us that following your heart and working through life, anyone can survive. If you read "Blackbird", you will not want to miss "Still Waters".

5.0 out of 5 starsThe power of anger
By Peggy Vincent on July 5, 2003
Format: Paperback
Those who read Lauck's first memoir, Blackbird, will expect to find a continuation in Still Waters of the upbeat note on which that first book ended. They would be wrong. Life did NOT go well for Jennifer Lauck when she was picked up at the bus station by her grandfather and left eventually at the 'safe haven' of her aunt and uncle's home. Although by the conclusion of Still Waters, we are asked to believe Lauck, with the help of New Age spirituality, has at last made peace with her tragic past, one can't help believing that it wasn't the power of hope that carried her to a relatively triumphant adulthood: it was the power of rage.

5.0 out of 5 starsI am going to be a better Dad
By Benny Howard on December 31, 2001
Format: Hardcover
This is a fantastic book, relates the undertones of Jennifer's feelings very strongly. Just less than halfway through the book, I made a decision to be a one hundred percent good Dad, This is how much Jennifer has effected me, helped me and will help my children. I read the [Amazon.com] rules to writing reviews and it states we should recommend similar items, I want to recommend another Oregon writer that has a super book called SB 1 or God by Karl Mark Maddox

4.0 out of 5 starsNo Closure
By A Customer on January 25, 2002
Format: Hardcover
I read Blackbird, the first book by Jennifer Lauck, and I loved it. It was such a powerful story, written through the eyes of Jennifer as a child. It was heartbreaking, and I couldn't wait to read the sequel, which I bought as soon as I could. I almost didn't want to continue after the first chapter, I didn't think I could take anymore of what this child had to endure, but I perservered, and I'm glad I did, it was a wonderful book. Jennifer Lauck found love and peace, and I'm happy that she did. The only problem I had with the book is that I am left with so much anger towards the other people in Jennifer's family, and she doesn't seem to be. I think it is very normal for children who have lost parents to feel anger or a sense of abandonment, and after all that Jennifer went through, I think she must have. Perhaps she didn't, and that was what helped her cope, having the image of her loving parents somewhere inside her. But where is the rage against Deb, who's lie caused the separation of Jenny and Bryan which wreaked so much havoc in their lives? I think a large part of the book was about family secrets and the lack of honesty from the aunts, uncles, grandparents and parents and how it affected the lives of Jenny and Bryan. Did Jennifer feel this rage or anger toward these people? She doesn't tell us. What were their reactions to the first book? I feel like I know much of the story, but not enough for my own sense of closure.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Moving Account of a Difficult Life
By A Customer on March 18, 2004
Format: Paperback
I have "read" both Blackbird and Still Waters, but perhaps in a non-traditional way by listening as I endure my excrutiating drive to and from work throughout the week.
Blackbird moved me in ways no book I have read has done. Is that because I was listening to the author's voice - the person to whom these atrocities had been inflicted on was actually telling me about them, or would my reaction have been the same, had I read the accounts in the traditional "reading" method.
Personally, I think the audio rendition has had a more positive impact and let me explain. The book is written entirely from the perspective of the author's participation and some of the repetative phrases, such as "I say", when recounting conversation, I know would have driven me nuts if I were reading, but were totally natural in the "listening" version of reading. Does this make any sense?
Bottom line, Blackbird and Still Waters are the best books I've had the pleasure of reading in a very long time! I was totally engrossed in the story, involved with Jennifer, Bryan and their challenges in life, and I wish Jennifer all the best in everything to come in her life. She presents a role model for anyone who's had difficulties in their life - inspiration to uncover what the truth is, even after years of living perceived truth.

4.0 out of 5 starsTime, Search, Awakening
By J. Schauer on July 12, 2002
Format: Hardcover
Still Water is a quick, easy read like Blackbird. Blackbird is the better of the two books, although I couldn't wait to read the sequel. The lesson of Blackbird for me was the power of a dying mother's love from which Jennifer's was able to draw strength to carry her through horrible circumstances. The lesson of the Still Water is the real damage of lies, no matter how innocuous they may have seemed at the time. Both books made me cry, although the first part of Still Water was reasonably uneventful. Jennifer managed to have quite a normal adolescence, after her tragic first years. The book picked up during the last 150 pages, as many mysteries become unravelled. Many years of her life are not covered, because the ability to face the past only came when she was ready for it. There is a powerful zinger at the end -- which gives the book its true meaning. The ending leaves hope for Jennifer to continue the healing process and forgive her adoptive parents who were well meaning, but flawed people like most of us.
