Book Review: Margaret Dickinson: Red Sky In The Morning

Red Sky in the Morning




























Author: Margaret Dickinson
Title: Red Sky In The Morning
Genre: Fiction, Romantic, Contemporary Fiction, Family Saga, Literature Fiction, Contemporary, Literature. Romance,

I was given this book.

Book Dedication: For Zoe and Scott, My daughter and son-in-law

This book has 464 pages and 33 chapters.

I highly recommend this book.

I would tell people that you should step outside your comfort zone with books because it is good to add more authors and genres to your reading portfolio. Even if you do not read books like this.

I normally read books of this genre but l also stepped outside my comfort zone with authors and genres l am so glad l did because l have read so many great books and come across some great authors.

Synopsis: A young girl stands alone in the cobbled marketplace of a small Lincolnshire   town, bedraggled, soaked through and very afraid. No one knows or cares who she is or where she has come from. Only kind farmer Eddie appleyard recognizes something in the girl touches his heart, in a drunken haze Eddie takes her home. His wife Bertha accuses him of infidelity and turns Anna out in to the cold, wet night. Eddie hides the girl in a tumbledown shepherd's cottage that becomes her new home. Anna's arrival will change their lives: Eddie's, Bertha's and even that of their young son Tony, Torn between his warning parents and the mysterious stanger. It will take years for the secrets of Anna's former life to be revealed, but Bertha bides her time and awaits her moment, little realizing the tragedy her vengeance will unleash. Anne ends up pregnant after she was raped and Eddie helps Anna through her pregnancy and when she gives birth to her daughter and she stays in the cottage for years and Eddie and his son Tony help Anne loads and helps with Anna's daughter and Anna keeps the secret of what happened to her and how she got pregnant and how she got the scar on her fingers and why she run away from home and her family and the guy who raped Anna turns up with his dad and ends up stabbing Eddie who passes away and Anna, Tony, Maisie and Bertha try to save him but is is too late.

Review: I really found this book a mystery at first because of Anna just turning up and standing so still in the marketplace and it was very nice of Eddie and his son Tony helping her through everything she went through and Eddie helping her through the birth of her daughter and Anna helps Eddie with stuff around the farm but tries to keep out of the sight of Eddie's wife because she does not like Anne and Bertha sounds like a bitch and gets jealous of Eddie trying to help people because Eddie had a kind heart and Tony has a good heart like his dad. Tony takes after his dad not his mum. Tony took food to Anna for his dad when his dad was busy. I found this book really easy to get in to and hard to put down once l got in to it. I was sad to read that Anna's grandad was murdered and she was raped and had to run away from home to be safe from it happening again and her having to marry her rapist and I like Eddie and him helping poor Anna and her daughter Maisie and l like that Tony takes after his dad not his mum. After Eddie murder Tony kept helping Anna and Maisie because he knew that what his dad would want him to do. His mum Bertha left the farm after Eddie's passing because she felt guilty about telling the people who murdered Eddie and Anna's grandad where they could find Anna and her daughter Maisie. Tony helped teach Maisie to read and write which l think was nice of him. I wish l could rate this book more then five stars because it is worth more then the five stars l rated it.

Author: Bernard Clark
Title: A Mother Like Alex: One Defiant Woman, Nine Special Children.
Genre: true story, biography and true accounts, biography, diseases and physical ailments, physical impairments, biographies and memoirs, special needs.

I was given this book.

This book has 302 pages in it.

I would tell people that you should step outside your comfort zone with books because it is good to add more authors and genres to your reading portfolio. Even if you do not read books like this.

I normally read books of this genre but l also stepped outside my comfort zone with authors and genres l am so glad l did because l have read so many great books and come across some great authors.
I highly recommend this book.

Synopsis: They said it could not be done they had not met Alex bell. This is the story of an extraordinary mother and her unusual family – a story of courage, perseverance and above all, love. It is about a women who adopt seven children with down syndrome and becoming a foster mother to a child who has a life-limiting condition and a guardian to another child who is autistic, at 28, and unmarried, Alex battled with social services to adopt her first down syndrome, Matthew. She had succeeded in becoming one of the first single women in the UK  to adopt. But Alex did not stop there. She single-handed took on eight more children who, despite serious disabilities, are flourishing under Alex's fierce and devoted love. Like happy-go-lucky Matthew, who fulfilled his dream of working for Manchester united, and Adrian, the amazing number wiz, born as if with a calculator inside his brain, or the cute – but demanding – nine-year-old Emily, who coped with her traumatic cancer treatment by being downright bolshy and learning to be her own boss. This book is a tear-jerker and it is about a very brave children and the women who raised them and she is a single woman who loves all the children dearly.

Review: I found this book really easy to get in to and really hard to put down once l started reading it. This book was a really good read and it was heart breaking to read about nine year old Emily having cancer and alex sounds like a very special mother to nine beautiful brave children who show alex love and happiness as alex does them and alex loves all her children with all her heart. Alex showed courage and choose to raised them all on her own. It takes a special woman to do what alex does. Any child would be so proud to having alex as their mother. I really enjoyed reading this book and just goes to show that women can raise disabled children and not need a man to help her. I think alex and the children are so brave and alex is a great women, great mother. I wish l could rate this book more then five stars because it is worth a lot more and l wish there was a follow on to this book so l could see how all the children are getting on. Alex is a great women wish there was more people like alex. The world need more people like this. This book will have you hooked and leave you wanting more. I was hooked on this book after reading the first page. I would happily read this book again and again.

This book has 340 pages and 44 chapters in it.

I would tell people that you should step outside your comfort zone with books because it is good to add more authors and genres to your reading portfolio. Even if you do not read books like this,

I normally read books of this genre but l also stepped outside my comfort zone with authors and genres l am so glad l did because l have read so many great books and come across some great authors.

I highly recommend this book.

Synopsis: The brothels of cable street. The krays brothers and gang warfare, The meth drinkers in the bombsites – this was the world Jennifer worth entered when she become a midwife at the age of twenty-two. Babies were born in slum conditions often with no running water. Jennifer worth describes the romantic and beauty of the great port of London, The bug-infested tenements. The spectre of disease. The sense of community and the incredible of women who bore more then ten children. Funny, disturbing and moving. Call the midwife brings to life a world that has now changed beyond measure. Nonnatus house was situated in the heart of the London  dock-lands. The practice covered stepney, lime house, mill wall, the isle of dogs, cubit town, poplar, bow, mile end and whitechapel. The area was densely populated and most families had lived there for generations, often not moving more than a street or two away from their birthplace. Family life was lived at close quarters and children were brought up be a widely extended family of aunts, grandparents, cousins and older siblings, all living within a few houses, or at the most, streets of each other. Children would run in and out of each other's homes all the time and when l lived and worked there, l can not remember a door being locked, except at night. Children were everywhere, and the streets were their play-grounds. In the 1950's there were no cars in the back streets, because no one had a car, so it was perfectly safe to play there. There was heavy industrial traffic on the main roads, particularly those leading to and from the dorks, but the little streets were traffic-free. The bomb sites were the adventure playgrounds. They were numerous, a terrible reminder of the war and the intense bombing of the docklands only ten years before. Great chunks had been cut out the terraces, each encompassing perhaps two or three streets. The area would be roughly boarded off, partly hiding wasteland of rubble with bits of building half standing, half fallen. Perhaps notice stating danger – keep out would be nailed up somewhere, but this was like a red rag to a bull to any lively lad over the age of about six of seven, and every bomb site had a secret entries where the boarding was carefully removed, allowing a small body to squeeze through. Officially no on was allowed in, but everyone, including the police, seemed to turn a blind eye. It was undoubtedly a rough area. Knifing was common, Street fight was common and if a young girl did become pregnant the pressure on the young man to marry her was so great that few resisted.

Review: I found this book really easy to get In to and hard to put down once l started to read it. I was hooked on this book after reading the first page l can not wait to read the other books in this series. I am glad this book was made in to a TV series and I have watched the series over and over again and l could happily read this book again and again. I loved reading this book and reading about how it was in the 1950's and how the people survived in them days and who helped women bring their babies in to the world some women bore about ten or more babies because there was no birthcontrol in them days and if you aborted a baby you could end up in prison. The midwives also helped when people was injured or they had bedsores or they had preeclampsia and eclampsia and they catch it too late and the mother and baby sadly passed away and the nuns sometimes attend births and deaths to help the midwife. I am hoping they put call the midwife on at christmas again. I am glad l got all the call the midwife books l am glad l can read all the books one after another. I love reading about olden days and how things have changed over the years. I am sad that when a baby passes away they share coffins with adults who have passed away if the families can not afford a coffin of their own. It was so hard to read that mother and their children would go in to the workhouse when their husband left them or passed away and sometimes none of the children made it out alive and the workhouse inmates was buried all together in unmarked graves.


About The Author: Worth, born Jennifer lee while her parents were on holiday in clacton-on-sea, Essex, was raised in amersham, buckinghamshire. After leaving school at the age of 14, she learned shorthand and typing and became the secretary to the head of Dr Challoner's grammar school. She then trained as a nurse at the royal Berkshire hospital, reading, and moved to London to receive training to become a midwife. Lee was hired as a staff nurse at the London hospital in whitechapel in the early 1950's. With the sisters of st London college of music. Where she taught piano and singing. She obtained a fellowship in 1984. She performed as a soloist and with choirs throughout worth reflects on her later experiences caring for the terminally ill. Worth was highly critical of mike Leigh's   2004 film Vera drake, for depicting the consequences of illegal abortions unrealistically. She argued that the method shown in the movie, far from being fairly quick and painless, was in fact almost invariably fatal to the mother. Worth died on 31 may 2011, having been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus earlier in the year. Jennifer worth is a great writer l have her other books and sadly she has passed away now which l was sad to read.

About the book: l Like that the cover is really nice and not too bright and l love the font.

Star Rating: 5 Out Of 5 Stars

I wish l could rate this book more than five stars because it is worth more then the five stars l rated it.



  




















Book Review: Giselle Green: Finding You

Finding You


























Author: Giselle Green
Title: Finding You 
Genre: Contemporary Fiction, Chick Lit, Women's Fiction, Fiction, Women's, Contemporary.

Where I got this book: my sister bought it me off amazon as l had the first book little miracles and l said l needed the this book to complete the storyline so she  surprised  me with the money to buy it. 

I would tell people that you should step outside your comfort zone with books because it is good to add more authors and genres to your reading portfolio even if you do not read books like this. I normally read books of this genre but l also stepped outside my comfort zone with authors and genres l am so glad l did because l have read so many great books and come across some great authors.

This book has 410 pages.

I would also tell people to have the first book little miracles so you can read the full story not just half.

I highly recommend this book to anybody.

Synopsis: Julia and Charlie are ecstatic to be reunited with their stolen child, Haydn. A year after he was snatched from a beach in Spain during a family holiday. They had feared that he would never be found alive. Now the couple are eager for their lives to return to normal – but something is very wrong. Haydn is still in many ways a 'lost' child. He seems to have been badly affected by the abduction, making it impossible for the family to simple pick up the pieces and move on. In their efforts to unravel exactly what happened to their son and to find a cure, Julia and Charlie clash as to the best way forward. As their own insecurities surface, Their relationship comes under threat – a situation not helped by the appearance of a former lover who is only too happy to rock the boat. As dark secrets are uncovered, the couple's love for each other is tested to its very limits, and they begin to doubt that they will ever be able to help their troubled little boy... Until, as last, They stumble across an unexpected truth. A truth that might be the only thing left that could save their family. They try to found out what is wrong with their little miracle but he is a precious little boy who is loved by all his family. Julia thought Haydn was missing the woman who had Haydn for a year. Illusion helps Julia with Haydn with him being a fussy eater and him being a hard child to get to sleep through the night and not liking contact with people. They think Haydn has autism but they had Haydn seen by two different doctors, one doctor wanted to send Haydn away but Julia did not want that for her son and Charlie was stuck with the right choice for their son. But when his dad passes away Charlie changed his mind not to send Haydn away like he was sent away. Charlie's dad told Charlie to look after his heart and the family was reunited. Both Julia and Charlie wanted what was best for their son and that meant not spending Haydn away and him being around his family and surrounded by love and his favorite elephant teddy. Julia and Charlie finally got married on New Year's eve two years after Haydn got kidnapped and announced they are having another baby in July.

Review: I really liked the first book and really wanted to read the follow on to little miracles and so happy to have read both books and it is a really happy ending and they was reunited with their stolen child which l was really happy to read. They do not want to send Haydn away and they finally find out what is wrong with him and they work together on getting Haydn sorted out and illusion helped Julia with getting Haydn to eat and glad he  got his favorite elephant teddy back and it was a book l really got in to l could not put it down once l started to read it. I love little miracles and finding you, I like Giselle green books. Julia bought Haydn a sandpit but Charlie thought it would bring back memories of him being kidnapped but he was not pinning for illusion he had autism and a mother asked Charlie if Haydn had autism and Charlie said no and the woman told Charlie some of the things that her son did and he did not like contact with people and he was a fussy eater and Charlie said Haydn had all the same symptoms as her son. I was happy to read that they did not send Haydn away when he needed his parents more then ever. I was sad to read that Charlie's dad and grandmother and mother passed away. I was glad Charlie and Julia got married and was going to have another baby. I wish they was another book of this storyline so l could read what happened as Haydn got older and he become a big brother. I can not put in to words how great the storyline and book was l would tell people to read it for themselves to know how great it is. I wish l could rate this book more then five stars because it is worth more then five stars.

About The Author: I was born in Chiswick in 1960. When I was 7, the family moved to Gibraltar where in the summer it got so hot we had ‘half-days’ at school. I was one of those rare creatures who loved school but there were beaches to go to. I wasn’t complaining.  Gibraltar is near the tip of North Africa. In the winter it still gets cold though, so like everyone else we watched telly.As a kid, I loved Star Trek and Kung Fu (valiant-but-arrogant Kirk vs Valiant-but-humble Kwai Chang Caine). I wrote fan fiction, putting the crew of The Enterprise through such humorous exploits it made me fall right off my chair. I wrote time slip tales about kids who traveled back to Ancient Egypt. I wrote about a dragon whose best friend was a toad called Groadhop. I wrote and wrote and sent manuscripts off to publishers and – even at 11 – got encouraging feedback and wrote some more.I read voraciously. The best gift I ever got as a kid was my camera. Those days, you had to wait to the end of the roll to develop the photos. You had to be patient and trust. You had to learn the art of delayed gratification. All good qualities for a some-day novelist to develop.At fourteen, I met my soul-mate who I married at eighteen and we’re still together. I appreciate the good people in my life. I am loyal to those who matter. I am a Scorpio. I am interested in astrology and how everything we say and do, says something about what we are, and what we might become. If you ask me what I love (family aside): I love being out in the sunshine, listening to birds singing; I love being by the sea and places where there is a big sky – especially the Med.; I love atmospheric places like castles or walks that lead to old forgotten meadows. I love it when seeds I plant, come up; when birds in the garden visit my bird-feeder. I love being around young people and kids and I am lucky enough to have had six of my own. I love books and films and people that make me feel/think/laugh. I love that I don’t have to commute anywhere to do my job and I can set out my own work-space and I have the freedom to come and go as I like. I am also very happy getting feedback from readers who’ve stayed up till the  wee, small hours to finish one of my books – so if you are one of those, please stop by here some time.Now, that’s enough about me, I have some fictional characters calling!

About the book: I love the cover and font and l love the front cover because it has a beautiful beach,blue sky and a beautiful little boy on it.
