Jillian Hart Shares Her Heart: In A McKaslin Homecoming



Jillian Hart is a bestselling author in the Inspirational Fiction. This is my first time to share her work.

Synopsis:
 

Lauren has been estranged for from her family all of her life.  Only through contact with her long lost grandmother has she accepted the invitation to visit her family.  Lauren left with her mother when she was only two years old. Her memories are very vague.  Will her family accept her or accuse her of being like her mother?  Enter Caleb Stone town cop and friend of the family.  Lauren meets Caleb her first day at her Grandmother’s house.  They strike up a friendship.  Will there be something more?

My Thoughts:

This novel is another in the Love Inspired series which is a good read.  I loved reading the description of the Mckaslin family.   Ms. Hart has rich and vivid descriptions of all the characters involved.  I found the conflict was woven well into the story but felt less interested in the ending of the novel.   Overall I enjoyed the book.

The conflict explored in this book is the lost sheep returning to the fold.  Lauren returns to a family that she didn’t leave by her choice.  She for the most part comes back and is loved by most members of her family.  There is one family member that is reluctant to welcome her.  This member has issues with forgiveness and moving on from the past.    I felt the author showed great strides made by both to come to terms with their relationship.

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
