MISTS OF THE SERENGETY
First, I want to say THIS IS A MUST READ! THIS IS A MUST READ! … a thousand times over. If you don’t read anything else this year READ this book!
I think when reading the blurb, some people might be afraid that this story is too sad, serious, and profound. Believe me it is ALL of that and children are my trigger point. But I promise you will survive. So please don’t hesitate.
Jack is a divorced coffee farmer in Tanzania who lost his only daughter to a tragic accident. Rodel suffered the same fate, having lost her sister to the same attack. Rodel, who despises travel, made a final trip to Tanzania to collect her sister mementos. She discovered secrets about her sister’s life and work for the people of Tanzania. Rodel is adamant about finishing her sister’s mission before going home. Rodel and Jack met one fateful afternoon – a few days trip turns into a longer adventure. Both Jack and Rodel were two lost souls, broken, drowning in sorrow and regret but together they help each other find peace, healing and acceptance. I love ALL the characters of this book. Jack’s adorable little girl — her life was cut short. Mo seems tenacious and spirited. Ro – she is sweet, innocent yet fearless. Jack – so damaged, hurt, rigid but breaking down the walls you will find a man with a beautiful heart full of love. Goma, the anchor of the family – love her so fierce. All the characters are well-crafted and each carried an important aspect to the story.
The author’s writing is so gorgeous, poetic, flowing effortlessly I was completely enthralled, lost within the pages. I feel like I am THERE living, breathing among the characters and the beautiful serenity landscapes. This book reminds me so much of one of my favorite movie Out of Africa.
Mists of The Serengeti is no doubt an epic love story but there is way way way more than that — this book is about love, loss, heartbreak, finding yourself, forgiveness, humanity, family, and friendship. The story is truly heart-wrenching, moving, powerful. I cried a lot – not just one ugly cry. I was emotional throughout the book and I LOVED every minute of it. There were a lot of light-hearted, funny parts and hilarious laugh-out-loud exchanges as well. The epilogue really gave me a closure I did not know I desperately needed. I literally let out a huge sigh of relief. I crave books that have all the feels, books that are powerful, make me think, touch deep into my soul and this BOOK IS IT for me! I came out of the other side renewed, inspired, and educated on the beliefs and traditions of the African culture. A mixture of romance and women fiction – Mists of the Serengeti is one of the finest stories I’ve ever read. Gorgeous cover, extraordinary story, flawless writing, brilliant author.
6 stars wouldn’t do this book justice! JUST READ IT and see for yourself!
THE LAW OF MOSES
5 Stars
“A story of before and after, of new beginnings and never-endings. A story flawed and fractured, crazy and cracked, and most of all, a love story.”
One Word…BEAUTIFUL! Those two sentences right there epitomize the power of Amy Harmon’s writing. Her story telling is beautiful and flawless…just flawless.
This is a story about a small town girl who falls in love with a misunderstood boy.
“They found Moses in a laundry basket at the Quick Wash, wrapped in a towel, a few hours old and close to death.”
“People love babies, even sick babies. Even crack babies. But babies grow up to be kids. Nobody really wants messed up kids. And Moses was messed up.”
Moses struggles all his life. No one knows how to deal with him and his eccentricities. After being juggled among multiple relatives, he finally comes to live with his grandmother where he then meets Georgia. Georgia is immediately drawn to him. Moses is closed off and strange, but oh so beautiful to her. He doesn’t let people in, but Georgia pushes her way into his life. Despite being drawn to Georgia as well, Moses is lost and doesn’t know how to handle Georgia being in his life.
“No one had ever wanted me, starting from the day I was born. but Georgia had wanted me. And because she had wanted me when no one else did, I had immediately been suspicious.”
Moses has a special gift, a gift that most people don’t understand; people think he is crazy. He has a compulsion to paint out his visions and he struggles to find peace within himself. He struggles to accept who he is and pushes Georgia away. Moses leaves Georgia for several years. During that time, Moses and Georgia grow and mature, but the consequences of their teenage affair have lasting consequences that change their lives forever. Hearts are broken and lives are shattered. When Moses comes back, he and Georgia have to learn to love, fill in the cracks, and rebuild their future.
At its core, this is a love story. It’s a story about a deep love shared between two souls, a story about learning to love yourself, and a story about the love of family. It touches on the coming of age, forgiveness, and the strength to overcome all odds. This is such a rich story and I loved everything about it.
I loved Georgia and Moses, especially Moses. He was such a tortured soul, but his heart was so beautiful. He was so lost as a teenager and I think his friendship with Tag was one of the best things that could have ever happened to him. He needed his friendship and support to gain confidence in himself. He learned to control his visions, but also learned to trust and accept himself for who he was. Once that happened, he was able to share his gift with the world. I loved Georgia for her ability to see Moses and his beauty. His skin color never mattered, his visions were a beautiful talent, and she craved to know him as person. She saw through all the shallowness and found the beauty within.
I’m not sure I could be so good to overlook all the superficial things and find the beauty deep within, but I know I want to be that type of person. I think the best books are the ones that make you take a step back and think about life and the people around you. It makes you question who you are and hope to be a better person. I loved Georgia’s concept of the 5 greats. It’s such an optimistic way of looking at life. I’m kind of the glass half empty kind of person, but I found the five greats such a simple and beautiful way of thinking. It paves the path to forgiveness and it allows us to overcome all the bad that surrounds us. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that there is so much love and good in the world; we just have to keep looking for it.
“That’s five greats then, Moses,” she said. “Your forgiveness. And Mine.”
“We let people believe what they wanted and accept what they would. We let the colors blur and the details fade.”
There is also an element of the paranormal. I don’t think this is a spoiler…but Moses can see the dead. However, Amy Harmon blends this element in a spiritual way…in the way where we all secretly hope our beloved ones watch over us, where they go to a better place that is peaceful and happy. I think the way this story touches on this issue really gives us hope for the people we have loved and lost.
This book has it all. It has love, family, spirituality, and even a bit of mystery. It is just a rich and well written book. This is definitely a MUST READ!!
Best Thanksgiving ever!!! because I read this beauty ❤
I mean you really can never go wrong with one of Mia Sheridan books. I have been a huge fan of this author for the longest time and every book is breathtakingly beautiful!!! The Wish Collector is an EPIC love story and with a MAGICAL feel to it. The storyline is simply brilliant combined with such exquisite writing I am completely enamored. I honestly did not even read the blurb until the end but it summed up perfectly what this story is about. I won’t bother repeating it here.
The hero Jonah is a tortured soul, broken physically and mentally, which we find out later was from no fault of his own. It was heartbreaking to see him waste nearly a decade of his life isolated and hidden behind the walls of Windisle Plantation. It is not until Clara came into Jonah’s life that he can see a little glimpse of bright light. I really fall in love with both characters. I adore Clara – She is the sweetest, kindest, most selfless, compassionate heroine I have ever read. Their relationship feels like a modern fairy tale base on one of my favorite plays Phantom of the Opera. Clara is resilient. She sees Jonah beyond his scars and much to his stubbornness she is determined to break down his walls and show that Jonah is worthy of love and a second chance at life. This book is so much more than a romance. It is a touching story about shame and redemption, forgiveness, hope, friendship, passion, second chances and the miracle of love. I think this book is truly magical! I love the secrets, the myths, and the haunting legend surrounding the people that once walked the grounds of Windisle Plantation, and how their lives intertwined into Jonah and Clara’s beautiful love story – that was just brilliant! Jonah and Clara’s love story proves that true love does exist despite the strongest barriers between two people. The Wish Collector is emotional, unique, fascinating and unforgettable. Mia outdid herself again with this book – absolutely another BEST BOOK OF 2018 list.
