I just finished reading a book that I absolutely LOVED and will definitely read again.
It is The Well and the MIne by Gin Phillips. www.ginphillips.com/gphillips-well-overview.htm
(make sure and read the part about why she wrote about this subject matter, with these voices.)
I would write a longer review but I am feeling a bit under the weather this weekend.
Bottom line review "YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK!"
I cannot wait to dive in to her newly released book, Come in and Cover Me.
This passage/description about love by one of the characters, Leta, made me cry and had me thinking about true and everlasting love.
(pg. 96) from The Well and the Mine by Gin Phillips
~ THE BED WAS COOL, and I pressed against Albert soon as he lay next to me. In the beginning, I hated the smell of the mines on him, hated the coat of dust on his skin. Then it turned into his smell, not the mines' , and there was a comfort to it. We sank into the mattress, with the weight of two bodies and all the tiredness and the work and the bills to be paid. Usually he'd squeeze my leg and I'd nuzzle his neck and we'd fall into sleep without saying a word. All the words and all the moving and all the thinking were used up by dark. ~
