What I thought about this book:

It took me five days to finish this wonderful piece of art. I loved Lily and Blake's journey growing closer to God and learning the meaning of forgiveness. This is a wonderful book and I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the series! Book Description: Cruise down the Mississippi with Natchez belle Lily Anderson. Needing to provide for herself and her sisters, Lily is desperately trying to make a go of a riverboat venture with co-owner Blake Matthews. But they fail to find anything to agree upon. Blake is enamored of the feisty Lily. Attempts to woo her may be lost to the devious Jean Luc Champney. Will the siren song of the river evolve into a serenade or a somber lament? About the Authors:

Stars: 5+++

Violence: This novel is about the tsunami that hit Japan in 2011, there is a lot of dying and suffering in this book.

Pages: 248

Main Characters: Sayaka, Haruka, Megumi, Mom, Aoi, Hoshi, Dad, a teacher (i'm doing this off of memory, give me a break!), and Sayaka's class.

What I thought about this book:

I felt for Sayaka the whole way through. North does a good job with the writing, making Japan and the tsunami seem real, and making Sayaka a character with feelings. This book is one that I can pick up and read over and over again without being disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cannot wait to get my hands on more books by Sienna North.
