Review of Once in a Blue Mooon by Eileen Goudge

I was given the opportunity to read this book by the One2One Network. Once in a Blue Moon a book about two sisters and the way their worlds collide. It captures you from the start as you watch the girls torn apart from each other and put into foster care. Lindsey ends up in a loving home where Kerri Ann becomes very much her mother's mirror. While the main plot deals with the sisters when the meet for the first time thirty years later with Kerri Ann asking for help, the romances that are woven within it are just as enjoyable. I read this book in a day. I was drawn in and just couldn't put it down. By the time it was finished I was wanting to know more about the characters about their lives, I didn't want the story to end. This was the first book I read by Eileen Goudge and I cannot wait to pick up more.

Once in a blue moon do you find a great book and author!

Once in a blue moon, do I get a book that I really enjoy. I'm talking about the type of book where before you are even finished reading you want to know more and more about the characters. You are not wanting the book to end because the end becomes just that.... The End! You are pleading with the author in your mind to keep writing. You keep checking to see how many pages that you have left to read and are hoping that you have counted wrong! I was so happy with the way the book ended, yet, longing to read more about the next chapter in their lives. For me the book was about life, family, and friendships. Hope you get your copy quickly!

Fantastic!

I've never read Eileen Goudge's books before, but Once In A Blue Moon compels me to read further works by this author. Goudge presents us with an engaging tale of two sisters, reunited after nearly three decades apart. The siblings, Lindsay and Kerrie Ann, are complete opposites in outward appearance, personality, and life experience. Fortunately, they find a way to rediscover their sisterly bond while fighting monumental personal battles. The characters are warm and endearing; I really got wrapped up in the story and what might happen. Don't miss this great book!!!

Once in a Blue Moon

This is the first book by Eileen Goudge that I have read. I really enjoyed this book. The characters pulled me in from the very beginning. The way the author developed both of the lead characters was outstanding. It reminded me of a Nora Roberts book. A great read!

Don't Give Up

Not all of us are born to wealth or luxury and that is certainly the case of Lindsay and Kerrie Ann. When the children's mom is sent to jail for selling drugs the neighbor Miss Honi Love who is like a mom to them tries to get custody of them but they are sent to live in different foster homes. Lindsay was lucky and got to be placed in a wonderful, loving and caring family who adopted her as there own daughter while Kerrie Ann was sent from foster home to foster home and her life was going downhill. Now we move to thirty years later and we get to see how Lindsay has made a life for herself. She owns a bookstore and has Miss Honi living and working with her . Kerrie Ann on the other hand is in more trouble then she can handle she married, left him and after not protecting her daughter Bella she is taken away from her. Kerrie Ann has one thought only and that is the promise she made to herself to get Bella back at what ever the cost. Now imagine showing up at your sisters book store with a style of dress, tight and revealing outfit and not to mention the pink in her hair to introduce herself to her sister and ask for her help. The reunion is difficult at first but Kerrie Ann is determined to do whatever it takes to win Bella back. With the support of Ollie, Lindsay and Miss Honi they all go thru some difficult times together but the love and support is there and not just for Kerrie Ann as they help Lindsay with problems she encounters about the property that was left to her by her parents the home she adores and does not want to leave. It is very touching to see how different worlds come together join forces and each help the other sister and it is a very wonderful book which shows that family is there for you although sometimes it is not easy to except help from others but this story shows when everyone is willing to change there is such a thing as a happy ending.
