About the Book:
THE WINTER SISTERS: A NOVEL
BY TIM WESTOVER
Publication Date: August 7, 2019
QW Publishers
eBook & Paperback; 322 Pages
Genre: Historical Fantasy


Folklore, medicine, witches, and superstition in the Georgia mountains.

Dr. Waycross knows bleeding and blistering, the best scientific medicine of 1822. He arrives in the Georgia mountains to bring his modern methods to the superstitious masses.
The local healers, the Winter sisters, claim to treat yellow fever, consumption, and the hell-roarin’ trots just as well as he can. Some folks call the sisters herb women; some call them witches. Waycross calls them quacks.
But when the threat of rabies—incurable and fatal—comes to town, Dr. Waycross and the Winter sisters must combine their science and superstition in a desperate search for a remedy.
Can they find a miracle cure, or has the age of miracles passed?

Review: 
Dr. Aubrey Waycross has been called to the small frontier town of Lawrenceville, Georgia in 1822. He readily goes into the unknown, since the mayor has hinted at hydrophobia, or rabies being present in the town.  However, when Aubrey arrives he finds almost no one in need of medical attention.  All of the Lawrenceville residents would much rather take their problems to the Winter Sisters, Rebecca, Sarah and Effie.   Aubrey attempts to out the sisters as quacks, but he finds that Rebecca's herbal cures solve issues far better than his bloodletting, Sarah's tests and games that she gives patients make them forget about their problems and Effie seems to cure people by simply being in their presence.  Not even her sisters seem to know how Effie works her medicine.  Aubrey decides to band with the Sisters and the town will need all four healers when a residents does contract rabies.

The Winter Sister's is a fascinating historical fiction novel with elements of mystery and magical realism.  Life in a frontier town was brought to life through Aubrey's eyes as he experienced the remoteness, danger and community of Lawrenceville.  The Winter Sister's themselves were the most intriguing part of the story.  I really do wish the story was told through their point of view, especially since the writing begins with the Sisters being bound together in a ceremony by their mother.  Aubrey's character took a lot of time to warm up to as he continuously placed himself above the others in town and tried to prove his methods were the best.  I also just couldn't find any personality in him.  Although he eventually ended up saying and doing the right things, they always seemed robotic.  All three sisters, however were written very well with distinct personalities and habits.  The mystery of Effie still remains did she truly have a power to heal, or did everyone just want to believe in a little magic?

The final chapters locate our galaxy within the known universe and add a scintillating peek of other exoplanets in the cosmos. Detailed maps and fascinating imagery from recent space missions are paired with clear, authoritative scientific information.



Review


Visual Galaxy is a stunning photographic guide to our Milky Way.  Using the latest photographs, renderings, graphs, charts and infographics- the knowledge of our universe is presented in a dazzling display.  From the first image of two galaxies colliding, I knew this book was going to be amazing.  The Foreward, written by Chris Hadfield does an excellent job of summarizing human's fascination with space and the importance of space exploration.  From here, the book is sectioned into parts of our galaxy, Each part of our galaxy is from the creation of the Milky Way to our planets and even other habitable planets.  The descriptions in each section are easy to understand for anyone with a bit of a science background, you do not have to be a space expert to learn from this book.  I enjoyed learning about different stars and formations, nebulae our sun, and other planets like Earth.  Overall, a remarkable book for any space enthusiast.

The Death Doll

Picture
Kate Tremont's life changes radically after her father's death.  Her fathers business associate tells Kate she must decide between her Jamaican plantation in the or the unknown. Kate decides that she would rather stay with her only family, an Aunt and Uncle in Durham, New Hampshire.  After a long voyage, Kate shows up unannounced at her Puritan relatives doorstep.  They take Kate in, but the adjustment is hard on Kate, her Aunt and Uncle and cousins, Edith and Mary.  The Puritan lifestyle is very different than anything Kate knows.  As Kate adjusts to life in New Hampshire, she gets to know her cousins better as well as a the Rockford family and is employed as Viola Rockford's tutor.  When Viola and Kate find a young escaped slave in the woods, trouble begins as Kate's kindness becomes twisted into rumors and sickness falls on the town.

The Death Doll is a historical fiction novel set in 1692 in the colony of Durham in New Hampshire.  This is the beginning of the Salem Witch Trials, and life in a Puritan village is difficult.  Kate's character is very interesting to follow as she was quite independent in Jamaica, but clueless as to how the world works.  When Kate arrived in New Hampshire, the pacing of the book picked up.  The Puritan world seemed to be depicted quite accurately in terms of dress, home life and religious customs as well as how one accusation could place multiple lives in danger.  I was surprised at how different Kate's experience was from the women accused during the Salem Witch Trails and the reasons why the hysteria didn't reach someplace so close.  After everything that Kate and her family went through, there was a very surprising ending and I wonder if this outcome actually happened to anyone in the past.

Praise
“Historical fiction at it best: A unique, intimate view of a character we thought we knew. The Civil War comes to life through two sisters on opposite sides, one the first lady of the not-so United States. And through it all, a fascinating family saga. I learned a lot and loved this book.” – Karen Harper, New York Times bestselling author of American Duchess

“Susan Higginbotham’s The First Lady and the Rebel is a meticulously researched and powerfully written account of the complicated and compelling relationship between the Todd sisters. Higginbotham’s two female protagonists are bonded by blood and love, but pulled apart by war. Set against the sweeping backdrop of our nation’s Civil War, this is the tragic and true story of human hearts both fierce and fallible, of deeply mixed loyalties, and of the imperfect but inspiring individuals who were asked to do the unimaginable. Moving and enlightening.” – Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of The Accidental Empress

“Susan Higginbotham has done it again-crafted a richly detailed novel that immerses readers in America’s Civil War. The First Lady and the Rebel explores the tragic story of a family and a nation torn apart, while shedding light on rarely reported events in the personal life of Abraham Lincoln. Mary Todd Lincoln, the President’s wife, and her sister, Emily Todd Helm, are devoted to their husbands and to each other, yet find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict as they face overwhelming grief and loss. The novel presents a devastating time and place rendered so vividly you’ll feel as if you’d lived through the war yourself. Higginbotham’s painstaking and extensive research is evident from the engaging first chapter to the novel’s moving conclusion. For those who like their historical novels based on real people, this book is a must-read.” – Amy Belding Brown, author of Flight of the Sparro

Review: 
​Mary Todd Lincoln and Emily Todd Helm are two strong willed sisters who happened to marry two men of equal conviction.  Abraham Lincoln is elected to the presidency just as his nation begins to split.  Mary is in support of his views for the nation, but finds that many of her family members are not.  Emily encourages her husband, Benjamin to travel to Washington upon Lincoln's election and ask for a post within the government.  Ben finds that he respects Lincoln deeply, but does not share his views and returns to his family.  As war breaks out, Ben takes a post in the Confederate Army as Mary hopes for a speedy end to the conflict.  While the North and South are divided the sisters can't directly communicate and feel the loss of the other in their lives as each woman champions for their own victory.  


With astounding historical accuracy, the plight of the Todd family during the Civil War is brought to life.  I always love when history is told from the woman's point of view and Emily and Mary have equally interesting stories.  The point of view switches between Mary and Emily and begins with their courtships.  I did find it harder to get into the story this early, but it did give some insight into their relationship.  The pacing and interest picked up as the war began and the women were feeling the effects of having family on each side.  While there was a lot of insight in the writing as to the impacts of the war and some of the decisions that Lincoln and Helm made, I really wanted to feel the emotional connection to each of the women and their direct impacts on the War through their husbands, I felt more of just a description of what happened around them.  Overall, the strength of Mary and Emily shines through as well as their dedication to family in all forms.

About Ribbons of Scarlet

• Paperback: 560 pages

• Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks (October 1, 2019)



“The French Revolution comes alive through the eyes of six diverse and complex women, in the skilled hands of these amazing authors.”--Martha Hall Kelly, New York Times bestselling author of Lilac Girls

A breathtaking, epic novel illuminating the hopes, desires, and destinies of princesses and peasants, harlots and wives, fanatics and philosophers—seven unforgettable women whose paths cross during one of the most tumultuous and transformative events in history: the French Revolution.
ng> Ribbons of Scarlet is a timely story of the power of women to start a revolution—and change the world.

In late eighteenth-century France, women do not have a place in politics. But as the tide of revolution rises, women from gilded salons to the streets of Paris decide otherwise—upending a world order that has long oppressed them.

Blue-blooded Sophie de Grouchy believes in democracy, education, and equal rights for women, and marries the only man in Paris who agrees. Emboldened to fight the injustices of King Louis XVI, Sophie aims to prove that an educated populace can govern itself--but one of her students, fruit-seller Louise Audu, is hungrier for bread and vengeance than learning. When the Bastille falls and Louise leads a women’s march to Versailles, the monarchy is forced to bend, but not without a fight. The king’s pious sister Princess Elisabeth takes a stand to defend her brother, spirit her family to safety, and restore the old order, even at the risk of her head.

But when fanatics use the newspapers to twist the revolution’s ideals into a new tyranny, even the women who toppled the monarchy are threatened by the guillotine. Putting her faith in the pen, brilliant political wife Manon Roland tries to write a way out of France’s blood-soaked Reign of Terror while pike-bearing Pauline Leon and steely Charlotte Corday embrace violence as the only way to save the nation. With justice corrupted by revenge, all the women must make impossible choices to survive--unless unlikely heroine and courtesan’s daughter Emilie de Sainte-Amaranthe can sway the man who controls France’s fate: the fearsome Robespierre.

Review:



The French Revolution was a time of immense change, violence and uncertainty for everyone in the country.  The women of France eagerly became caught up in the Revolution hoping for change, for rights and for freedom.  Many of these women died for their part in the revolution and their beliefs that women should have the same rights as men.  Through the eyes of six amazing authors, six equally stunning and brave women of the French Revolution come alive: Sophie de Grouchy, Louise Audu, Elisabeth Philippine Marie Helene de France, Manon Roland, Charlotte Corday and Emilie de Sainte-Amaranthe.

Through their tragedies and triumphs, these women weaved in and out of one another's lives.  While each section of the book is written through just one woman's eyes, the others are present.  Each woman's perspective moved farther in time through the Revolution.  I love that the focus was not on the intense politics of the Revolution or what the men were fighting for, but the beliefs of each woman and how she set about to accomplish her task. Sophie de Grouchy used her political fervor to educate and empower other women under the guise of entertainment.  Louise Audu, a feisty fruit seller and student of Sophie bands with other women to storm the Bastille. Elisabeth of France takes a stance to protect her family and realize just what her family is being killed for.  Manon Roland takes up the pen as her weapon using the endurance and graciousness as women for strength. Charlotte Corday is convinced that murdering a man that slings slander and incites violence and hatred is a step towards peace.  Emile de Sainte-Amaranthe uses her beauty to keep those who control France's fate under her influence.  Each woman's emotions, desires, convictions and bravery are placed in the forefront of the writing. While their beliefs may not have always aligned, the women's power of conviction shone through.

AMAZON | BARNES AND NOBLE | KOBO​

Review:

Sarah Bennett has just been released from the 'rest home,' an exclusive psychiatric facility after the death of her mother.  Sarah was found with her mother's body at the bottom of a staircase with no memory of the event.  Sarah is the only suspect for the death.  Sarah returns to her California seaside home in the midst of World War II, refreshed but still with no memory of the night her mother died.  Sarah returns to a town that has changed with the war, the coastal town is now a military encampment, her father has published a novel and has found a new wife.  Sarah tries her best to return to normal, however, her new stepmother is definitely hiding something, her father's assistant, Zeke seems to be better at speaking German than he is at booking speaking engagements and Sarah's dreams are beginning to spill into reality.  Sarah's memory of the night of her mother's death seems to hold the key to piecing all of these mysteries together, but they are locked tightly away.  


The Spirit of Grace is a gripping historical mystery with added elements of paranormal and psychological suspense.  From the beginning, I was wrapped up in Sarah's character and circumstance.  She was someone who I could easily identify with- thoughtful, observant and brave, but I questioned her reliability as a narrator.  As soon as Sarah arrived back to her home town, the book took on a suspenseful tone.  Everything had changed in the year she had been gone, the war had infiltrated the town and her home had been overtaken.  Sarah seems to deal with all of this in stride and throws herself into trying to figure out the mystery of her memory while trying to uncover the motives of the new people in her home.  I was very interested in the paranormal parts of Sarah's life, how her dreams infiltrate her real life and why she can see ghosts.  There is some preliminary explanation, but I think this could be delved into further.  The plot takes several unpredictable twists and turns as Sarah finds herself trying to break up a German spy ring that is somehow connected to her mother's death and figuring out the truth between her father and his assistant Zeke. My only complaint was how fast the romance sparked with promises of marriage; however, like everything else, this also didn't turn out as predicted.  Overall, a multi-faceted historic thriller with many different twists.  I'll be looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

About The Glass Ocean



• Paperback: 432 pages

• Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks; Reprint edition (September 10, 2019)

From the New York Times bestselling authors of The Forgotten Room comes a captivating historical mystery, infused with romance, that links the lives of three women across a century—two deep in the past, one in the present—to the doomed passenger liner, RMS Lusitania.

May 2013

Her finances are in dire straits and bestselling author Sarah Blake is struggling to find a big idea for her next book. Desperate, she breaks the one promise she made to her Alzheimer’s-stricken mother and opens an old chest that belonged to her great-grandfather, who died when the RMS Lusitania was sunk by a German U-Boat in 1915. What she discovers there could change history. Sarah embarks on an ambitious journey to England to enlist the help of John Langford, a recently disgraced Member of Parliament whose family archives might contain the only key to the long-ago catastrophe. . . .

April 1915

Southern belle Caroline Telfair Hochstetter’s marriage is in crisis. Her formerly attentive industrialist husband, Gilbert, has become remote, pre-occupied with business . . . and something else that she can’t quite put a finger on. She’s hoping a trip to London in Lusitania’s lavish first-class accommodations will help them reconnect—but she can’t ignore the spark she feels for her old friend, Robert Langford, who turns out to be on the same voyage. Feeling restless and longing for a different existence, Caroline is determined to stop being a bystander, and take charge of her own life. . . .

Tessa Fairweather is traveling second-class on the Lusitania, returning home to Devon. Or at least, that’s her story. Tessa has never left the United States and her English accent is a hasty fake. She’s really Tennessee Schaff, the daughter of a roving con man, and she can steal and forge just about anything. But she’s had enough. Her partner has promised that if they can pull off this one last heist aboard the Lusitania, they’ll finally leave the game behind. Tess desperately wants to believe that, but Tess has the uneasy feeling there’s something about this job that isn’t as it seems. . . .

As the Lusitania steams toward its fate, three women work against time to unravel a plot that will change the course of their own lives . . . and history itself.

Review:

Sarah Blake is a best selling author who needs a new idea for a book.  Her finances are in dire need after spending the money from her first book on care for her mother, who has early-onset Alzheimer's.  Sarah decides to look into her own family history for inspiration, a chest of belongings from her great-grandfather, Patrick Houlihan a porter aboard the Lusitania.  Patrick's effect lead to another passenger, Robert Langford and a conspiracy that might change history.  Sarah sets off to find Robert's great-grandson, John Langford.  Finding John is an easy task since he is currently a disgraced politician being hounded by the press.  Sarah tries her luck with asking John about his family and finds more than she bargained for with John and his family.

In 1915, aboard the Lusitania with Patrick and Robert are Mr. and Mrs. Hochstetter.  Caroline Hochstetter is the owner of an unknown Strauss Waltz that her husband, Gilbert has found a buyer for.  Caroline is reluctant to sell the beautiful piece of music, but trusts her husband, even though he is being secretive and distant lately.  Also aboard, are Ginny and Tess, sisters and con-artists who are there to make a copy of the Waltz and sell it abroad. Tess wants out of the con game and decides to trust Robert with her secret.  Upon doing so, Tess and Caroline find out that nobody is truly who she thought and everyone is hiding something.  Before anyone can confront anyone else, the Lusitania sinks and the secrets are taken into the ocean.

The Glass Ocean is an exciting and intriguing historical mystery that pulled me in with interesting characters, an intense plot and fascinating setting.  Written by three authors and told from three different points of view, this dual-time story meshes together perfectly.  I am a huge fan of dual time stories, so The Glass Ocean really hit the spot for me.  Caroline, Tess and Sarah are all wonderfully developed characters who possess different strengths of character and are all attempting to find the best way to use those strengths.  I was very pleased that the connection between Caroline and Tess in 1915 and Sarah in 2013 was more about a shared struggle than blood relation.  Usually in dual time stories, I find myself being pulled more into the historical side of the story, I was pleasantly surprised that I cared equally about both the past and present sides of this story.  I loved learning more about the Lusitania and the many conspiracies her voyage played a part in during World War I.  Through Tessa and Caroline I was able to envision the many decks, staterooms and conditions for passengers as well as the many different dishes they were served at various mealtimes.  Most impressively done was complex plot of the Strauss Waltz, the hidden formulas and the spy espionage aboard the ship. With masterful writing, The Glass Ocean is one of my favorite reads this year.  I hope that these three authors continue to create together.
