deep character study
1 Mar 2003
By Harriet Klausner
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Though five years ago her beloved husband Paul died, Ellen Jameson still carries his ashes in an urn, as she cannot let go even though her world has ended. Her suburban friends ignore her, the family accounting business went bankrupt when Paul the CPA passed away, and now she sits on the brink of becoming homeless. She moves to nearby San Antonio seeking an accounting clerk job and saves money by living in the house of her mother Wilma. Also moving in to her mom's house is Ellen's party-going daughter Amber and granddaughter Jet. Four generations of women share a house whose ownership is being contested in the courts.
Ellen finds work at Roper's Accounting home of "The Cowboys of Taxes". Amber is good at her mall job, but prefers to party. Wilma watches the well-behaved active three-year-old Jet, but struggles to keep up especially pulling her oxygen tank with her. On the brink of homelessness, Wilma decides Ellen must marry with the only prospect her daughter's employer even if he is more her age. Wilma and Jet begin matchmaking as four generations of women try to survive deep in a heartless Texas.
Though not filled with any action, fans of deep character studies will want to read LETTING GO a strong look at four women living, loving, and suffering together under one roof. Each member of the quartet has a distinguished personality though Jet seems too mature. Pamela Morsi provides an insightful look at moving on while still remembering a lost loved one that will leave her audience grateful for her graceful talent.

She has written better

I surely hope that Ms. Morsi goes back to what she does best and that is writing Americana stories.
Her contemporary novels are sad and dull to say the least.
The only reason I've kept reading is because I spent top dollar for it.

Excellent Read!

I loved this book! I have also read Doing Good by the same author but liked Letting Go much better. The characters were very interesting, including the minor characters, which is sometimes rare. This book held my interest throughout and continually surprised me. I highly recommend it!
