review 1: At first glance of this whimsical cover, Making Marion looked like it would be a lighthearted romantic comedy. Well, I thought it did, anyway. What I got between the covers of this book was a poignant story of a woman searching for answers and wanting and needing to be loved and finding her own worth. This is a good read, just not really a lighthearted one. There are moments of laughter, but there are more difficult subjects as well. Death, cancer, abuse (emotional and physical), are some of these subjects. Marion is a woman searching to find answers about her beloved father. What she finds is so much more. This is a book about learning how to forgive, friendship, love, and ultimately finding out you are worthy. I very much enjoyed Marion growing in her character ... moreand even the physical changes that took place as she stepped up to be the woman she was meant to be. I would consider this an inspirational read, however there is a little bit of language. I would say around 5 words or less. I very much enjoyed this story and read it very quickly. I received this book from The Book Club Network, Inc. (TBCN) and the opinions are my own.
review 2: Making Marion by Beth Moran is set in present day Sherwood Forest, mainly in a campground. There is a lot of humor, especially in the beginning of the story. As the story unfolds, flashbacks take the reader into the childhood of the main character, Marion. Because of trauma and abuse Marion spent years in the grips of selective mutism. The actual “making” of Marion involves her poignant journey through that stress and into becoming a strong and productive woman. This book is not just a lighthearted romance but it is also about strength and forgiveness. There is depth in dealing with real issues. The author does a great job with character development and with descriptive language. For about the last 10 chapters, I could not put the book down and stayed up way too late in order to finish the story. I received a copy of this book from the publisher by way of The Book Club Network in exchange for an honest review. less
