First Novel - No Way!

I believe no matter your age or your gender you can identify with one of the four main characters. I attended Elon and Cobwebs of Time brought back so many memories! What a read! I didn't want to put it down! Even read the last chapter and the epilogue over and over with tears streaming down my face!

Note to reader: Don't plan on putting this book down!!

Tesa Jones has written an incredible page turner. I read the book over Winter Break and it became my best friend. I took it with me EVERYWHERE!! Towards the end I would only read 10 pages a night so that it wouldn't be over. One night I stayed up until 2:00 in the morning because I could not wait to see how it ended. What a great summer read this will be!!

THE BOOK OF THE YEAR!!

Tesa Jones brings back many wonderful memories of the seventies. "Cobwebs Of Time" is not only a book I personally enjoyed, but one that my husband and two teenage daughters could not put down! As a parent, I strongly feel the consequences of the character's experiences are a valuable lesson to the reader. This novel would make a great movie. I can just imagine which oldies tunes would be used. Make time to read this book now!

Full Circle

MUST READ -- It's an unpredictable page turner!!!

This novel is as good as it gets. It revolves around family issues, close friends, and hot love. I have never read anything so exciting. What a page-turner. The story is written through the minds of four main characters. Brad, Laura, Jennifer, and Kurt... as you read, you will not only become engrossed in the novel, you will feel like you are a part of the story; like you know one of the characters or you may even see yourself as one of the characters. The book begins in "The College Years" -- If you didn't go to college, this book will make you feel like you did... if you went to college this book will bring back old memories, and if you are yet to attend college it will make you excited to go! The story unfolds through "The Changing Years" and then comes together in "The Awakening Years" when the characters realize who they are and what they truly want in life. Everyone I know who has read "Cobwebs of Time" could not put it down... I bet you won't be able to put it down either! Have Fun!
