Review for Lana Lynne's books:

I purchased Lana’s first book—Home Always Beckons—when I went to a book signing in White Oak.  I was doing research on publishers at the time and was particularly interested in the publisher she was with.  I just recently received the next two books and read straight through them.  So, I am posting the reviews for all three now.

Review:  Home Always Beckons @Lana Lynne

Review note:  I am friends with the author.

Home Always Beckons follows the journey of three men, two of which are finally coming home, as they face the aftermath of the Civil War. 

Anyone who has spent a significant time away from home knows it’s not always easy to go back.  You’ve changed, your friends have changed. . .home has changed.   Sometimes the changes are too much to overcome and staying home is not an option.  Marc and John know this only too well.  With their friend, Boyd, as support, they face the challenge to see if coming home is possible.

Be prepared to take the book everywhere you go.

Review:  Trails of Change @Lana Lynne

Review note:  I am friends with the author.

Having said that, Trails of Change is well written with plenty of historical accuracy to draw the reader in and make them realize Ms. Lynne has done her homework.  Her characters are believable and plain spoken like the people of that era were.

All who have gone to war come home to change; in themselves, those at home and their surroundings.  Dealing with these changes has always been a challenge and Ms. Lynne does as excellent job of bringing those conflicts to life in her stories.  Boyd Richards’ journey clearly portrays that. 

Find a comfy place, grab your favorite beverage and join the journey in Trails of Change.

Review:  Sunbeams at Twilight @Lana Lynne

Review note:  I am friends with the author.

Sunbeams at Twilight (A Life’s Echo) shows the difference one life can make.  Ms. Lynne does an excellent job of showing the ripple effect created by the decisions we make and how lives can be affected by them well into the future.

Having read the other two books, I was a little shocked at where this book started.  I felt like I was missing a lot of information.  Knowing Lana, I wanted to fuss but I didn’t, I just kept reading.  I’m glad I did.  Do the same.

Poignantly written, this is as much James Hawkins’ story as it is Hallie’s and Edward’s. 

Oh, keep a tissue handy.
