review 1: It is strange how many books I have read lately have been set in North Carolina, where our daughter Karin and family live--though they are not in the rural area. Also, a crucial part takes place in Virginia. An adult pair of twins, Roy and Mont--or Montgomery Vines both have growing families. To punish him for an indiscretion, Luke is sent by Mont and his grandparents to live with Roy, Rosalind, Lola--a teenager, and the little sister, Janie Ray. It is a pleasant book, without much of any conflict. Once again, if my nook Tablet were working, I'd be reading books on that.
review 2: I suggest you don't leave this story until it's over. Leaving Before It's Over is about the strength of family bonds - and how they can remain untouched over time, separation and... more alienation, no matter how far they are buried. I immediately fell captive to the story about two families, while seemingly thriving on their own, would eventually have to face their past and determine if there is a future. A father has to swallow his pride to ask for help from his estranged family and in turn receives much more than he bargained for. But there is a price to pay for everything and when faced with the challenge of building a relationship with a child he abandoned yeara ago or putting strains on the unsuspecting girls who now call him "Dad", the game and the rulebook is dictated by hearts, public opinion, priorities and bloodlines. An easy read that left me feeling glad I read it and reaffirmed the goodness that resides in all our hearts if we but listen less
