My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As a person who loves solving puzzles and learning about the stories of ancestors, The Web of Humanity was a great choice. The story is one of many themes involving love, friendship, hardship through war, coincidences, and family. It’s a journey about a woman named Anna who becomes interested in her grandmother’s hidden past. Right before her grandmother dies, she gives Anna just a tiny glimpse of the past events that she endured. This glimpse sends Anna’s curiosity sky high, and she begins a journey to find out the whole truth behind her grandmother’s hidden past. While this was a long journey, when reading, it provided inspiration of wonder and full circle moments, and really making you think about what all the connections and events in one’s life really could mean.

What a powerful read! I did not expect to enjoy this one as much as I did. I usually am lost with historical books, and have a hard time relating or keeping pace but decided to give it a shot based on the reviews and plot. Boy, am I glad I did! The author uses fictional characters paired with real events from WWII in a way that keeps you turning the pages. The story centers around a family secret and an amazing trek throughout Europe. The imagery and unexpected twists kept me engaged, as I was intrigued by the unique POV. This one is a great read for those who are interested in historical reading (even though it is fictional) and even those who are not as interested (like me), definitely give it a shot!

This book was a book powerful full of an impact. It was beautiful and full of emotion! What these women went through, was undeniable. They all faced struggled and hard to work through a lot. The emotions and events they felt truly stay with you! The writing was amazing, the author knew exactly how to write this!

As I read through, I so easily connected to the women and their stories, as well as their hardships and who they were and who they came to be! Honestly the writing was amazing and truly kept me invested and wanting to know more as I read though. I could not get enough. I found the book had a lot of moments for these women with reflection. They made their choices and stand by them, but if they chose a different choice and action, would the outcome have been different , and a better choice?

The book was beautiful and intriguing all at the same time. I was very much invested in the women and their stories, their triumphs as well as their heart breaks they had to face and endure! These women were powerful people and I would never wish what they went though on anyone. I believe the challenges they faced and how they dealt as well as overcame everything made them stronger inside and out!

The writing was amazing, and the story flowed so very nicely. I could not get enough. It was a work of art for me and this story and the lives of the characters I met will stay with me for a long time, these stories and book are ones I will not be forgetting anytime soon. I loved this book for all it was, and yes, I do highly recommend this must read book! It is more than just a worthwhile read, its a powerful read!

No Names to Be Given by Julia Brewer Daily. This book was amazing! Its not based on a true story but inspired by events that took place. The book is set in 1965 and takes place in a Maternity home hospital in New Orleans. Three women meet in this hospital and this is their story. This maternity home is the place they send unwed mothers to have their babies and then they are taken from the mothers and given to others to adopt. The mothers have no real choice. The women are not given any information about their children and are told not to ask. They have to live with this choice the rest of their lives. When someone threatens the three women who meet there and give birth on the same day secrets begin to come out and the now successful women could be ruined by this secret. Will the women ever be the same after these secrets come out and or will their lives blow up? This book is so full of emotions and is very tragic in ways. Do yourself a favor and read this amazing book!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story would have to be one of the most moving and harrowing tales I have ever read. The content is heartbreaking. It centres around three women who become pregnant out of wedlock. Being based in the sixties, it was common practice for unwed girls to be shipped of to a home, give birth and have their babies stripped from them and put up for adoption. Their terribly sad journey moved me beyond words, as I found it impossible to comprehend the turmoil that these women faced. It is inconceivable to think that these barbaric and unfeeling monsters ripped these babies from their mothers. No choices were given. No conversations had regarding options. Nothing but heartache and to be sent back home as if nothing occurred and life was supposed to carry on as normal. It was such a reflective story. I cannot imagine what these women endured and am so thankful that I will never know. I can only feel compassion and hope that they lived their best lives under the circumstances.

Incredibly well written and extensive, this story gives a glimpse into life for unwed mothers in that era and the unimaginable events that were experienced by many women. A touching and unforgettable tale. 5 stars

No Names to Be Given by Julia Brewer Daily appears to be the author’s debut novel. It is an historical women’s fiction story that will tug on your heartstrings. It is set in the 1960’s and follows several characters through their experiences as unwed mothers in a time when society frowned upon such things.
This story is about unwed mothers, pregnancy, societal expectations, shame, scandal, bigotry, fear, abuse, challenges and adoption (forced and otherwise).
This was a bit of a confronting story for me, and my heart ached for what the characters endured.

Thank you, Julia Brewer Daily!

The Web of Humanity by Maria Turchin. This is an amazing read about history, mystery and families. It is a deep thought provoking read and its best read slowly. Its the story of Anna Venu who is very intrigued by her Grandmother. Her grandmother has traveled from Berlin, to Austria and back to the US during WWII and many things happened during that time. Anna is frustrated because her grandmother refused to talk about it and her grandfather knew very little about it as well. Wanting to find out more Anna travels to Austria to see if she can find out more and boy does she. She finds out things she may not even want to know. When she finds a photograph she travels from Austria to Berlin to try to track down people in the photo that can maybe tell her more about her grandmother. What she finds out is a lot! This read is very deep and is best read slowly so that you won’t miss anything. Anna finds out things that may have been better left alone. This book will grab you and not let you go til the very end. Great historical read based on true events!

This is a truly wonderful story. The three story within it are beautiful, poignant yet haunting. You find yourself thinking about the experience and what could have been done instead. No experience is the same; yet they are in a way. The emotional roller coaster will definitely be felt with this one. Beautiful, emotional, and heartfelt story. I recommend you read it. I would have given it 10 stars if I could have.

This tale will take a toll on your emotions as we travel back in time when the shame, the scandal, sexual assault, and racial prejudice was ripe. Where three young women all from different walks of life and situations were forced in to a decision that would affect their lives forever. It made my heartache for each of these compelling women and all they went through. This heartbreaking tale happened to my best friend in the 70’s and she never got over it. I was a teenage mum and made the decision to keep my baby and I am glad I didn’t go through what these women did even though I was at times facing some.

I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. This is a story that is well written and the author’s use of details made the story realistic. This is a story about three women back in the 1960s. A story about their experiences, family and redemption. This is an emotional story that will pull at your heart strings throughout the story. The characters are connectable and truly made the story for me. They made you feel what they were as they went through their life. This is a story of inspiration for all women and I really enjoyed it. The growth of the characters throughout the story made the story entertaining to read. This is a fast paced story that is engaging and I highly recommend it.

WOW!!! Such an amazing read! This is not a book I would normally pick up to read, but as soon as I started reading I could not stop! The adventure of Anna going to Berlin to discover the history within her family is just one amazing event after the next. I was saddened and also happy with Anna’s relationship with Fredrick, I guess the traditions and values that get passed down through each generation are hard to let go of. Her adventures are so fantastical, and that she gets to meet all of these different people along the way, and read of her grandmother’s story and what she endured in her life is beautiful. I was happy to see her find that connection to her family, and be able to give her grandfather the information on her grandmother that they were both wondering about. That time period was a terrible time for the world, so also reading about how she lived through that time period was very moving and very haunting. I can’t say enough good things about this book, I wish I could erase it all from my mind and re read it all over again for the first time. I highly recommend this book to anyone, no matter what genre you like.

One of the most fascinating stories I’ve read this year. I enjoyed the way it was told. The story stretched out as it was over the years added to the mystery. The characters were so realistic and relatable that it felt like I was reading a biography of a war journal. A very well-written and well done novel that many who love adventure, mystery and romance might enjoy. You have got to read this book. It will be a wonderful treat.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This story surrounds several generations of the same family with magical abilities. Wise women, witch or Strega? Doesn’t matter what you call them they have mystical abilities that make this story so much more interesting as you are guessing your way through all these abilities. A turn of events in Diana’s life means her and her sisters must flee the town their family has lived in all their lives. Was it right to do as she did or did she go against the basic principle that her abilities should harm none? What will her actions translate into in Annie’s life? I love the historical influences that are given throughout this novel. This tale is both story and character driven and has so many of those details that make a story a great one. I loved the back story that was given and found myself unable to put this story down until I read every last word. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and hope the author finds a way to make this a series!! I would love to read more.

This book, very quickly became one of my personal favorites, the story I guess you cay say comes within pieces as if they are fragments, each one seemed to be more crucial than the last. The story was weaved so well, and everything was full of adventure and reason at the same time! Loved this story!

I have always been a historian at heart. I always believed strongly that what the past is shapes us in todays world. This book was about answers of the past, and what was, what came to be, what we are now. This book constantly made me think! I was sucked into it completely and mesmerized!

Anna was a character that was true after her own heart. She wanted answers for things of the [past and sought them out, she finds some things of the past that was never suspected, and each finding led to the next, in the end it truly was a gripping story! I truly loved the anticipation that this novel brought!

The book had its own suspense, and it was certainly very well written! I could not get enough of Anna and the truths she had learned of her family’s legacy. Again the findings and what happens through out the book, really make you think and reflect on your own life! Beautifully done, highly recommend this one!

This book was amazing, and it really makes you think about history and the world we once lived in. This story had so many elements attached to it, but not once did I find myself lost or disinterested. The characters and the storyline were well developed and as you span through the generations and the history attached to it you could feel a connection to the character and her journey.

We are introduced to Anna and she presents the story as she explores her family history dating back to WWII . Anna’s tale uncovers secrets and unpleasant events, and leads to more questions than answers. As we follow her journey we get to see the bonds of a human connection, a family connection, and ones person connection to their selves

Death under Palm Trees is the fourth book in A Jack and Frances Mystery Series by Carmen Radtke. This is a Historical Mystery that once you start reading you won’t want to stop till you’ve finished. I’m a huge fan of Historical Mysteries and this one didn’t disappoint that’s for sure. This author has a way of making you feel as if you are right there with the characters. Jack, Frances and Uncle Sal are supposed to be attending a party where they are the guests of honor but when their help is needed in finding some government documents that have come up missing these three jump into action and even disguise themselves to blend in. What will happen when trying to find the missing document it turns into a murder mystery? I highly recommend reading this to find out what happens next. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Death under Palm Trees: A Jack and Frances 1930s mystery (Jack and Frances mysteries Book 4) by Carmen Radtke. Okay this one was a bit outside my comfort zone but I’m so glad I took the leap. I’m a fan of a book that keeps me guessing and on my toes. This book definitely didn’t disappoint in either of those areas. From page one I was drawn in and completely hooked. Each character is unique and I liked spending time with this set of characters. It’s a well written mystery that definitely had me turning pages as fast as possible to see what would be happening next. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking. I highly recommend this book and can’t wait to see where this author takes readers next. Four big stars!

This was such a fun who-done-it mystery! While I was reading, I felt like I was actually watching a PBS/BBC period show that was set in the 1930s. Frances, Jack and Uncle Sal were supposed to be having a wonderful New Year’s celebration with Frances’ Aunt Mildred. Instead, they end up having to help solve a mystery at her house where classified papers have gone missing. Frances and Jack sign up to be “the help” while they investigate who could have done it. However, during their investigation, the crime ups to murder which puts them on a shorter timeline to solve the mystery. Can they find the papers and uncover who the murderer is before all the guests leave?

I really enjoyed the depth of the characters, the different locations they visited, and how they all worked together to develop a trap in which to catch the killer/thief. The dialogue between the characters was well thought out and drew me in to how their minds were working to solve the mystery. In the end, I was surprised who it was, but looking back it made sense!

This was a very well written book that kept my interest until the very end!

Death Under the Palm Trees: A Jack and Frances 1930s mystery by Carmen Radtke is the fourth book in the Jack and Frances Mysteries series. This is the first book I have read in this series, but I enjoyed it despite not having read the previous books. The book is a delightful cozy mystery set in 1930s Nice, France. It had the feel of classic mysteries written by Agatha Christie and others. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline. The setting was luxurious and glamourous but with some less than honorable people. I liked the twists in the story and how Jack and Frances interact with each other. The dialogue is witty and clever. I will now read the previous books in this series and look forward to more from this author.
