Shining Through

Susan Isaacs

HarperTorch, 2000

I loved this book!
Susan Isaacs never disappoints me. I've read four of her books so far and as usual, the main character in 'Shining Through' becomes a real, fully developed person. It's difficult to write in first person without becomes bogged down in details but the author does a ...

almost paradise

Susan Isaacs
