Solomon's Oak

review 1: Jo-Ann Mapson is one of my favorite authors. The plot of this book was slow to develop, but once it got started it was another great story. Glory Solomon is a recent widow. She and her husband had ran a small farm and raised foster boys, among other things. In one of their meadows is a big, old, beautiful oak tre...Solomon's oak. Glory's husband had built a small chapel before he died. Someone asks if they have their wedding there and thus begins a new business for Glory. During the first wedding at the chapel, a man is taking picture of Solomon's Oak. Glory's camera fails and the man helps takes wedding pictures. Also on this day, social services calls and asks Glory to take 14 year old girl,who has many issues. Juniper brings joy but great challenges. Glory ... moredoesn't know if she is up to raising this girl.
review 2: Solomon's Oak is about three people suffering from very difficult personal situations. The novel winds around these three lives and how they find comfort and friendship in each other as they live out everyday life. At first it’s like they are from the Island of Misfit Toys, but the novel expertly explains how each got to that point in their lives. I guess we’ve all been to that island at some point.Also, the audiobook reader, Emily Durante, was excellent. less
