Children of the Waters by Carleen Brice was an interesting read for me as I don’t really like themes of abandonment but I found myself caught up in the story if for no other reason than to see the outcome of the characters Carleen Brice so brilliantly created and wrote about. I was most interested in the character named Billie who had for me the most to deal with in the story. Billie has lupus and is in LOVE with Nick who has his own demons to deal with that affect the relationship in ways that almost had me turning to the end to see what and how they were going to deal with it. Several issues crop up for Billie and the way Carleen writes the story, I’m sure you’ll be rooting for her as I was. Carleen has done it again with a story that has real-life themes that keep you turning the pages just like I did when reading Orange Mint and Honey. I look forward to the next book by this author who is now one of my favorites.

Carleen Brice writing reminds me of Alice Walker’s. She’s become one of my favorite authors.
