What Can New Experiences Bring?

Thank you to Kensington Books and Sally Kilpatrick for a copy of Bless Her Heart.  I was given this novel in exchange for an honest review.  I received no financial compensation. 

Posey has been married to Chad for ten years.  All she really wants is a child.   She has put up with some weird requests from Chad.  One day she wakes up to find that he is gone with another woman.  The house is gone and the car repossessed.  What is Posey to do? 

Posey moves back in with her family.  What to do about her life? Now what to do about a job?  She had worked for Chad in Love Ministries as a receptionist.  Her little sister Lark has the answers.  She thinks that Posey should explore the seven deadly sins.   Does Posey feel these experiences are fun or have consequences?   How will it impact the future?

My Thoughts: 

I enjoyed Ms. Kilpatrick’s novel.  I found Posey to be an entertaining character.  She has lots of sass.   Lark added a lot of entertainment value to Posey’s adventures.  The author creates characters that are interesting.  The conflict in this story had me rooting for Posey.  When I first read the synopsis for the novel I thought the story had a different path.  Ms. Kilpatrick writes with great wit.  Her writing makes it a joy to turn the page.

Bless Her Heart is an easy read!  That readers will enjoy!

You can preorder your copy here.

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...
