I decided to start my blog off with a review of an older Catherine Anderson novel Seventh Heaven. I stumbled upon this book years ago at the library and it got put at the bottom of the pile of books I was going to read. It just didn't really catch my interest at the time and I hadn't heard of Catherine Anderson. When I got to it I couldn't put it down! I loved it! And now Catherine Anderson is one of my favorite authors and her books are always at the top of the pile. I've read almost everything she has written. Her characters are likable and they are not perfect.
A little about the book: Joe and Marilee are high school sweethearts that are separated for 10 years who reunite and realize that they are still in love with each other. They have 10 years of issues to work out before they can live happily ever after.
Seventh Heaven is an excellent romance novel that tackles some important issues (child abuse, the difficulty of being a single parent, and being a victim of crime). But it really is a lighthearted book with a big dog who is scared of everything and a four-year-old boy doing typical kid stuff (like peeing in the snow). You will find yourself smiling and laughing to yourself at times and your heart breaking at others. This is a versatile book that would be a good book for a women's book club or just a fun book to read in your spare time. Only one warning, you may not want to put it down.
Others by Catherine Anderson that I've read and loved: Blue Skies, Phantom Waltz, Baby Love, Bright Eyes, Simply Love, Morning Light, My Sunshine, Summer Breeze, Sweet Nothings, Only By Your Touch, Annie's Song, and Keegan's Lady.
Please send me any books or authors that you would like me to review or post for others to see. I always love finding a new author or book. Until next time......
