I love this woman, 30 Mar 2006
By Julie - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City of Angels (Shannon Family Saga) (Paperback)
Rarely will a book keep me up past sensible hours, but both City of Angels and it's sequel Angels Flight have done just that.
This book introduces and features Kit Shannon and a desperate fights against injustice. Now, usually, I'm inclined to favor the prosecution, but this book just makes you want to cheer for the poor and oppressed.
I read alot and I can get picky, but this book is just the ticket for a few blissful hours. Warning: read with caution, I know I've lost many a studying hr to this book.

Delightly Surprised, 14 Mar 2005
By Laura - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City of Angels (Shannon Family Saga) (Paperback)
I picked up this book at the library with no expectations. I was looking for a quick read and intended on leaving it at that. This book wrapped me into the characters much to my delight. I caught myself staying up late and waking up early just to find out what had happened next to this wonderful characters.
Here's a quick plot summary for you: Kit Shannon is a young woman in her twenties from New York who moves to Los Angeles: the City of Angels to live with her aunt. Kit is an unusual character who has one pursuit in life; she wishes to become a lawyer. After quite a rough childhood, she has her college degree and has only to find a lawyer who will support her so she can pass the bar exam and become a legal counselor. The challenge is that Kit is living in the early 20th century in a world vastly dominated by men.
This is a great book that will have you laughing with the characters and cheering amongst your cries of dismay. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who believes in fighting for their dreams.

Interesting and Inspiring!, 22 May 2002
By Allyn "pianogirl" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: City of Angels (Shannon Family Saga) (Paperback)
Finally, just what Christian fiction needed...a fresh time period (no more Christian "Westerns"), an intriguing story, and a REAL woman!!! Wow...what a rare combination. In 1903, Kit Shannon decides to move to Los Angeles, the one place she figures she might have a chance at living her dream of being a lawyer. Things are harder than she ever imagined...her Aunt Fredrica worries that Kit's less-than-conventional career will ruin her social life in the city, and Kit's having trouble finding an employer. But worst of all, she's suddenly forced to help in a murder trial...a trial where a man who has become a friend of hers seems guilty of murder. From the beginning of this book, I was inspired by Kit's deep faith in God and strong personality. I loved how she wasn't sickeningly perfect and was a real person we could all relate to and be inspired by. It was also wonderful that this was a Christian book about something OTHER than a woman finding "Mr. Right" and really showed a woman making a difference and NOT just being "in love." Last, but certainly not least, I appreciated how you could enjoy this book without knowing much about court proceedings. This well written book with a strong main character is a must-read!
