Emerald Heart

Jeff Sexton

Sometimes Life Just Breaks You. If you find yourself in this place, this is the kind of book you *need* to read. It will hurt. You will cry. But maybe, just maybe, you'll find a modicum of catharsis here too.

If you haven't found yourself in this place - yet - read this too. Maybe get a better understanding of the "bitter old woman recluse" in your life. Because let's face it - we *all* either have one of these or had one of these or very likely will have one of these in our lives at some point. And to be clear, it isn't just women, as men could very easily be shown to be dealing with identical things as are shown in this book. But this particular tale happens to be a women's fiction tale focused on a woman and her relationships, and thus the description above.

Told with Greene's usual great care to characterization and description, you're both going to feel like you're there on Emerald Isle with these characters *and* you're going to feel their issues as though there were your own. Because, again, Greene shows us that no matter where we are in life, at some point nearly all of us will see ourselves in at least one of these characters and what they are going through in theirs.

And there, there is where Greene truly shows Grace ( ;) ) and hope.

Very much recommended.
