I recently read this book, it was a good novel, it showed how tragedy can sometime make you forget whats important, the main male character was a promininet neurosurgeon who lost his eyesight when he was carjacked, he needed a care taker but was very bitter, mean and not easy to get along with. the female main character was a woman who was escaping an abusive relationship and finally started to find herself, she had low self worth and esteem, this was an excellently written novel.
This story deserved every bit of the five stars I rated it! If not more! This was the most passionate love story I've ever read. What I loved was how Francis Ray didn't have to layer the story with sex scenes for the passion, desire, and love to come through. As soon as I started I couldn't put it down! You have a true feel for who the characters are. I'd recommend this story to everyone! There will be laughter, tears, and great lessons learned! Loved it!!
This an interesting love story. I remember it very well. A blind man and a woman running away from her abusive husband. Her car just happens to break down in Lousiana and from there all of God's plans for her begin to blossom. In the end, the blind man is no longer....it's a good read, trust me.
I absolutely loved this book! Francis Ray wrote in a very eloquent way but conveyed each characters feeling throughout this novel!
I liked it, it was a page turner kept me up way past my bedtime tonight reading it. It was a nice little love story.
So far so good...interesting start. The author obviously did her research on blindness :)
Read the whole book in about 8 hours. Interesting story, good characters, great read!
Very good
A thoughtful, emotional tale of love.
A Healing Love
Frances Ray has done it again! She has spun an intriguing tale with a great plot and an UNFORGETTABLE cast of characters (main and secondary).~~~~~~~"The Turning Point" is a very touching story. Mrs. Ray makes you feel the characters trials and tribulations. She also makes you hope that the characters in the story find the happiness they both deserve. A MUST Read!
