Book Review Accepted :-)

I was delighted to see that Backspace accepted my book review. I was sent this book to read and review by the author, B.K. Mitchell, whom I met after posting a question in one of my forums. Since that time we have become cyber friends. I hope to see her in New York. She is attending a writing convention next month. I will not attend the convention,  but do hope to pop into the City to do lunch with B.K. and her hubby.  I have to keep my fingers crossed since she has not been well for the last couple of months. She is determined to get to the convention.

The power of this book surprised and delighted me. Each character's life, in some way, is intricately intertwined with other lives in "June of the Corn Huskers Ball". While June learns about life and its complexities, she also learns about whispered family scandals and carefully hidden secrets. As June delves deeper into the past to get to the truth hiding behind family conversations she finds more than she ever expected to find. Sometimes it is more than she wanted to know. But June has her own secret that she must acknowledge and embrace.

"June of the Corn Huskers Ball" has a full range of characters that make you laugh and cry. Some are in denial, most of full of hope and all are passionate. There are countless visible and invisible boundaries that some will cross all for the sake of love.
