| Closing this one will be hard to do, but perhaps not in the way expected. Intense, passionate and ego driven the content pulled me into a story not even close to anything I've ever read...and I read a lot of memoirs! Thought provoking for sure. ...more | |

| Overall many will root for Tara. While her parents came across as a paradoxical mix of loving and demanding, and practiced a faith close to the earth, it was the mind control (throughout) that made this book challenging to read. Even so, I finished t ...more | |

| The book is good, framing events and quotes covered in other medias in condensed fashion. Because the author's opinions are included this creates a memoirish or tabloid-esk feel to the stories, and super fast pacing. Panetta’s quote summed up things ...more | |

Hi RYCJ, I'm sorry it took a bit to stop by and say thanks for being a friend. I swear my day is over before it properly began! While here, I want you to know that if you ever have any questions about the books on my shelves or about Harlequin.com, Stop by the HB profile and I would be delighted to answer them. Also, I list as much Harlequin news and author news as I can so be sure to watch for my updates.Happy reading,
Kim S., Harlequin Books ambassador
Hi Jesse,I'll add your book to my list. I certainly am impressed by some of the reviews I've read written by you. It tells me I'll likely enjoy Song of George.

Dear RYCJ, It's very nice to be included on your friends list here on goodreads. I'm quite impressed by your reading list as well as the samples of your own work. I hope you won't mind if I ask you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man for your reading list. It's fiction but is inspired by my own experiences.Best wishes in all, Namaste, jesse
