Richard V. Battle (multi-award-winning author)
5.0 out of 5 stars What a delightful read!
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2021
J. E. Spina's historical fiction story, inspired by her grandmother, tells the American dream through the eyes of one family. It Covers six generations, three continents, includes multiple love stories and the joys and adventures of almost 100 years.

It is an honest, candid, sincere, and comprehensive chronicle of life! It made me think of my grandparents and wish I had learned more of their stories. If you have that opportunity, do so!

Some believe the American dream is no longer alive, but I would disagree. Reading Lubelia Alycea, you will be encouraged to live your American dream because of their example of overcoming the vagaries of life to realize their dream.

Five stars!

From the Author

This book was dedicated and written in memory of my grandmother (Avoa) who lived to be 100 years old. She emigrated from her native country of Madeira to her new home in America.She was a strong, stubborn and resilient woman who took on whatever came her way and didn't back down. She was fearless and dedicated her life to paving the way for her family and generations to come. We wouldn't be here without her courage to travel to America.Though this is a historical fiction/romance novel I did include many of my grandmother's characteristics into Lubelia Alycea. I did feel my grandmother near when I was writing this story. It was almost like she was urging me on to complete it. I think she would have loved this book. I hope you do too!If you have ancestors who emigrated to America you will feel a kinship to what I wrote about their suffering and sacrifices. God bless them all for what they did for us.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 7, 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Janice Spina’s new novel, Lubelia Alycea - 100 years. The book chronicles the lives of Alycea and her family as they journey from their home in Madeira, Portugal to the shores of America, where they hope they will find opportunity and prosperity. Life is good in America, but it is not without it’s twists and turns that lead to illness, death and other tragic events. Alycea was brave, determined, and resilient through it all, adapting and adjusting to whatever came her way. At the same time, she maintained her cultural identity, traditions, and her love for her family. Definitely worth the read to find out more about this strong and amazing woman!

What a life!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 10, 2021

From a child immigrant from Madeira, Portugal to America with her mom & older brother, to a grown woman, Lubelia had to be brave & strong to make it through hard times. Her mom could not bring her twin brother with them to America, so she is lonely for him while growing up. She finds love twice in her life, raises a family, has heartache & happiness. Janice has done a wonderful job making the reader feel like you are right there living the experiences with Lubelia.
I received this book in exchange for my honest review

Powerful, yet endearing!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 3, 2021

This is an enjoyable story about the life of a young woman who leaves behind all that she knows to venture into a new world in hopes of making a better life for her children. Follow her through her hardships and successes as she struggles to support her family and fulfill a promise she made to her dying husband. Lubelia Alycea is a strong woman who shows endurance and tenacity. This is a good read for anyone whose ancestors before them left their homeland in hopes of a better life in America. It is powerful and endearing at the same time!

The Kind Of Book I’ve Been Searching For

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

Lubelia Alycea- 100 Years is the kind of book I want and even need to experience because it is genuine. I have read a few of Janice Spina’s books in the past, but they were in the young adult genre, and Lubelia, while very different, is just as (or even more) enjoyable. With society is in the state it’s in, it’s wonderful to read a book about real-life human struggle and strength. The protagonist, Alycea, traveled the road from Europe to the US and fought through difficulties and realized her goals of a having a fulfilling life. I like reading stories about family, relationships, humor, and integrity. If you want to step away from a world that focuses on negativity and narcissism, you will thoroughly enjoy your time with this book. I will read it over again this summer just to experience it one more time.
