It's been quite a while since I read a book. Since my last cat crossed the bridge, reading just isn't as pleasurable for me. I loved having my cat sit next to me or lay on my lap as a read and I really miss that. Last week though, with the icy weather and cold temperatures, I picked up The Element of Love by Mary Connealy that had been sitting on my "to read" shelf for over a year now. I enjoyed it very much and am glad I started reading again. This is a Christian historical fiction story about three sisters--Laura, Jilly and Michelle who are carrying out a plan to oust their cruel evil stepfather from their home and protect their mother from further abuse. It is set in California during 1972. I liked it because I was intrigued by the three sisters right off the bat and the book begins with adventure and action from the start. Their father owned a logging company and taught each of the girls skills to run it someday so they can take over the business. They become owners when either they reach age 25 or when they get married. They don't want to wait until 25 so they go off to find themselves husbands. (Karen's review, 5 stars)
