 A Mother's journey to Faith and healing March 19, 2010
Nanakeet
Daisy Chain is a great book of a mother's journey to Faith and Healing. All the charaters come to life in this novel of true friends and people's ability to see the good in all people. A must read !

The Daisy Chain is a wonderful example of the art of story-telling; colorful language, laden with imagery and emotion, captures the essence of life in small-town Texas as a young teenage boy wrestles with difficult questions beyond his years. The innocence of first love, the exploration of dysfunctional families, the difference between religion and faith, the realities of this harsh world and how people cope, an unsolved mystery- all cleverly and believably woven into a unique tapestry that beckons the reader in for closer examination. Religion is a major tenet of this story, but its presence was recognized and appreciated by this reader as an authentic weight-bearing pillar in the foundation of the tale's setting. For those who have read The Secret Life of Bees, this story falls in the same vein, an engaging yet somewhat unwelcome introduction of the innocent into a complicated adult world. One feels compelled to shield and protect the characters from the inevitable outcome. At this story's end, the reader will be left wanting more, for "all will be revealed in due time". This particular reader, for one, is anxious for resolution.

This was a terrible book. I did not realize until i read it that there was such a strong religious overtone at every page. The book story shows terrible values with the preacher physically and verbally abusing his wife and children on a regular basis so they become subservient to him. The story line and the ending of the book is even more troubling. What type of social skills and morale is this book recommending to young people. I will never have bought this book if I had known any of this.

I was very unhappy with this book, I felt like I was being preached at every sentence.Story took to long to get to the point and even then, I was upset with the ending. I don't think I'll read the next one and it will be a long time before I read another spiritual book.
