Time to Bid Farewell!



Today I am sharing the last novel in the House of Winslow series by Gilbert Morris. The White Knight wraps up this series which has forty novels in all.  Would there be any surprises for this finale?

Synopsis: 

Luke Winslow is the son of Peter and Jolie Winslow and they have one other son Tim.  In the beginning of the story Luke is flying in the Spanish Civil War.  His life couldn’t be better with a Spanish sweetheart and enjoying time with her family.  One day a raid by the Germans bomb the Spanish family that Luke is so fond of.   Will he learn to heal from these wounds? While he makes it back to the states through an unlikely friend Luke is unable to heal.  His brother thinks the answer is working for the family company, but is it really the path for Luke?  Or could a ministry at Haven house hold the key for his future?

My Thoughts: 

I am sad to bid farewell to a series that I have loved since I was a child.  What would the last novel bring for me?   I found the plot to be predictable.  The kind of characters that Gilbert Morris creates has a way of standing out to the reader.  What I loved about this novel is visiting with previous characters that I read about, in the series.  This created a satisfactory ending!

Rating: 

4/5

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...
