Search - Making Waves

Cassandra King, wife of author Pat Conroy, is a wonderful writer in her own right. Her novels are so realistic that you feel that the characters are not fiction but real. This is the story of a 20 year old who inherits a home and business. She must also deal with her disabled husband. A terrific read.

This was the second Cassandra King book I have read and I like her writing very much. Her characters are interesting and story line engaging. I would have liked it to end differently, but.....

Sometimes circumstances render dreams impossible. The survivors are those who can change their dreams to meet the new reality. This book focuses on a young southern woman who becomes a survivor.

Like Southern Lit???? Then you will love this one! Cassandra King is almost as good as her husband Pat Conroy (Prince of Tides, etc.)

Making Waves is by Cassandra King. Her books are about unlikely heroes in small town America. Making Waves is told in different voices. It is a sad story of people trying to overcome everything from personal injury to social status. Donnette is the young wife of the ex-football hero who was injured in a car accident with his best friend Taylor. Taylor leaves town after the accident, but returns two years later to help his elderly aunt giving the whole town something to talk about again. While it is not my favorite book by her, it is a good read.

I liked this book alot.
