Roseborough Jane Roberts Wood 9780525947158 Books

Loving, tender hopeful, and deeply spiritual.

It's beyond words.

Soothing, wise, this novel talks about the sounds of God, the miracles of life, the divinity of nature and destiny.

It talks about letting your life unfold. Letting go. Moving forward.

Jane Roberts Wood is an artist, a dynamic and unique storyteller who depicts people with brilliance.

Her characters are stunningly alive, vulnerable, believable, and authentic.

This book has made me ponder on my own life, my own dreams, my own future, my eternally "new beginnings".

I enjoyed every sentence and re read those that shook me to the core, those that made my heart skip a beat.

God is in these pages and the wonders of love and forgiveness are with him.

This is a work of art and of love and I strongly recommend it.

A splendid and enriching read.

Roseborough Jane Roberts Wood 9780525947158 Books Reviews

Ms. Woods has again captured the essence of small town life. While this takes place in Texas, it could be any small town throughout the southern US. The interaction of Mary Lou, her teacher Anne and the members of the singles continuing education class will leave you with the feeling that friends can help you overcome almost anything. And, when you learn where the title of the book comes from, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Everything from life behind the counter at Dairy Queen to a gypsy gathering are in this book. If you like Jan Karon's Mitford books or Billie Letts' Where the Heart Is, I think you'll also enjoy spending time with Roseborough.
Mary Lou's Burgandy's life has taken a dreadful turn. Her husband, Gundren was killed accidentally by a horse, and her 14 year-old daughter, Echo ran away from home after the funeral. Grasping at straws for ways to get her daughter back, she signs up for a single parenting class at the local community college.

The members of the class become like a family to one another, sharing not only Mary Lou's problems, but also their own, including abuse, estranged children, cancer and AIDS. Anne Hamilton, the teacher and creator of the class, finds she too is taken by this odd assortment of people, and is drawn into their lives.
Gundren's family are gypsies, and they float in and out of the story like butterflies on the wind. Aunt Labelle, who keeps a bright green and blue parrot, is especially adept at offering accurate visions of where Echo might be found. True to her name though, no one can catch the ethereal Echo. And there's no bringing her home before she is ready.
Roseborough is about the bonds of friendship and family; it's about finding inner strength and taking control of one's life. It's the story of what can happen when people open their hearts. Sit back and enjoy!
A cute story. I found this book at a library sale. Between three and four.

The book begins when Mary Lou Burgundy who works at the Dairy Queen in Lone Oak, Texas becomes a widow. Her husband, Gundren, has been kicked to death by a wild horse on the way to Weatherford. This town plays a big part in this book. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Mary Lou's fourteen year old daughter, Echo, has run away. Gundren is a gypsy. Readers get acquainted with gypsies in this book. Echo, very much a gypsy, runs away, moves to a tree house, then moves to the home of a very old man, Roseborough, who she helps with his chores which he can rarely do. He doesn't accept money from welfare or social security, he doesn't need it. There are many quirky folks in this book.

I did not get into the story until I was half way through the book. I thought it boring, repetitious, the characters predictable, I wouldn't be able to complete reading, then it caught my interest. I became interested in the college teacher, Anne Hamilton, who lives in Dallas and drives thirty miles to Lone Oak to teach a class in single parenting. Mary Lou enrolls in the class and meets a few others. A pretty woman, she looks not old enough to have a fourteen year old. She married at seventeen.

One good lesson the book tells is for people to be themselves, not who others want and expect them to be. Professor Anne Hamilton, an attractive woman, decides to become her own person, not let men rule her life. She has never been married, lives in a beautiful, immaculate home in Dallas filled with expensive rugs, paintings, furnishings. Mary Lou decides to go back to school. Ms Weems, an elderly unmarried lady with an antique house, finds dogs without homes good homes.

This book is somewhat predictable, overly sweet, but a good read with interesting quirky characters. Mary Lou has never been far from home, Echo, a wild child, has traveled much of the west. Characters meet, respect each other's differences and like one another. Some characters need to be more responsible and not leave their responsibilities on others. Fun book,.
Awesome first few paragraphs trick you. This book turns out to be rambling and lack luster. Don't waste your money. I was very disappointed. If it could have continued like it started it would have been good, but it just went nowhere, skipped around so you didn't know where you were or who you were with
This is a delightful, warm and wonderful story about love, loss and life and a very different perspective. I read it and then purchased a copy for a friend by the same name. Great light reading.
Great book!
