Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Based on historical characters and events, A Gathering of Finches tells the story of a turn-of-the-century Oregon coastal couple and the consequences of their choices, as seen through the eyes of the wife, her sister, and her Indian maid. Along the way, the reader will discover reasons to trust that money and possessions can't buy happiness or forgiveness, nor permit us to escape the consequences of our choices. The story emphasizes the message that real meaning is found in the relationships we nurture and in living our lives in obedience to God.

3.0 out of 5 stars A light enjoyable read, June 1, 2000
By Cas Rifkin (Searcy, AR USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This love story was between two self-centered people who didn't truly know how to love so spent a lot of time being dishonest to each other and themselves. I enjoyed reading it but found it frustrating as well. I read it as if I were a fly on the wall watching it rather than feeling that I could identify with the characters. They seemed shallow and heartless. It was a quick read and it kept my attention but the plot just wasn't developed deeply.

5.0 out of 5 stars legands and headliners, May 13, 2001
By A Customer
I have visted Shore Acres twice and both times never wanted to leave, why? The same reason Cassie Simpson nerver wanted to leave. The beauty the scenery possesed and the connection of feeling of one. This book sent me to tears at the end. I have a book I purchased on one of my adventures to shore Acres and I knew of the ending but this Author is one of the best i have EVER come across who's words touched me so deeply. looking forward to reading all of her books, now on my 3rd. book. and who better to tell of the great people who are legands and headliners that shapped the state i live in.
