The Accident - Well-Written Thriller Novel - Powerful Story
The Accident - Gillian Jackson - Book Review
The Accident emphasizes how everything we know, and how we live, can change in one tragic moment. This dramatic story captured my attention right from the beginning. As the story unfolds, the requisite time is taken to provide readers with well-drawn characters with whom we can identify.
- A terrible winter storm precipitates a terrible accident with serious repercussions for those involved, and for those whose love them as well. The Accident will pull on your heartstrings. And in aftermath of the accident, there will be physical and emotional agony.
- As in all serious accidents, there is an effort to uncover the facts of how and why the accident occurred, and on what, or whom, the blame should be placed. But regardless of where the blame may fall, time cannot be turned back. The tragic results of the accident cannot be erased. All that is left after the accident are the challenges that come with the fortitude to go forward. And the biggest challenge may be to dig deep inside one’s self. In order to take that first step, one must first find the effort to cope and go on with life as it is in the present.
- The Accident is about tragic trauma, yet it points the way to hope of survival and the dream of being able to rise above heart-breaking adversity.

The Giver Of Stars - Historical Women’s Fiction written by Jojo Moyes
The Giver Of Stars - Book Club Reporter Book Review
Historical women's fiction lives inside the pages of this marvelous book written by the talented and outstanding author, Jojo Moyes. I suppose many well-read women will find it hard to believe, but this is my first Jojo Moyes read. However, those same women will find it quite easy to relate to me when I say, “As soon as I finished reading this story, I quickly picked up all of the books in Moyes’ Me Before You trilogy.” I feel as though I have come way late to the Jojo Moyes readers party. All I can say for myself is, better late than never!
I thoroughly enjoyed Moyes’ story based on the Kentucky pack-horse librarians. And if you are also a Jojo Moyes fan, you may be surprised at how different this book is from other books by Moyes. Don’t get me wrong, The Giver of Stars is an outstanding piece of literature. I have learned that Moyes has an exceptional talent for writing women characters of depth. She depicts women in all their glory, and in all their misery as well. This author boldly brings us intelligent and marvelously strong women.
In the Giver of Stars, Moyes presents us with a wide array of women from various levels of education and intelligence, as well as women who are rich, poor, savvy, innocent, backward, sweet, forward-thinking, different, and downright tough. And by golly, the packhorse librarians make it their mission to bring books to those who have no access to literature. I really loved it when the packhorse women, were told by men, that Sophia, who is black, was not allowed to "use" the library. The women quickly replied that Sophia, was not "using" the library, on the contrary, she was "working" in the library.
But just because these women are determined to do good by women less fortunate, doesn’t mean that they look down on those same women. For me, The Giver of Stars is a story about watching a sisterhood of women come together to grow and flourish. And an old saying comes to mind, “If I could, I would give you the stars.” In the Giver of Stars, the growing sisterhood of women are determined to be “the givers of hope, love, friendship, strength, and courage, along with the tools to make a difference for all women. What a glorious and marvelous book Jojo Moyes has written. She is surely a Giver of Stars!
Note: As soon as I finished reading this story, I quickly made it the next book club selection for my women's book club. And how much they loved it, was no surprise to me! I highly recommend this book for women's book clubs.
