Product Description
Product Description
The townsfolk in Pleasant Cross, North Carolina, carry a healthy suspicion of the three generations of Ivy women. Each Ivy woman has been blessed with the gift of Knowing, but it's eighteen-year-old Tessa and her unique powers that cause folks to raise their eyebrows. When Rev. Renfrow and his son, Sterling, roll into town with their Airstream trailer and special brand of faith, things will never be the same, as a tragic secret is uncovered and the Ivy women learn the true meaning of kinship and hope.

Another wonder story by Lynne Hinton
30 Jun 2001
Format:Hardcover
I devoured The Things I Know Best in only two days. Lynne Hinton has a gift for taking us into the story and holding us there until the final page. The paper is her canvas and well-chosen words are the medium for guiding us into the settings she creates. She writes simply yet fully. I love her style and her stories. I only wish that there had been a few more chapters to this wonderful novel.

A Sweet Ride
13 July 2001
Format:Hardcover
This is a short novel but packs a big story. It is the story of the Ivy women who are each blessed or cursed with a gift of knowing. One can see death coming, the other reads the sky and daughter Liddy knows who people will marry just by looking at their hands. But this is really the story of Liddy's twin Tessa who thinks she sees the future in glass. This is a quick ride thru the summer of the twin's 18th year. It is fast paced and you are along for the ride to the very end. Even tho the future has been forseen doesn't mean that it is fact. Sit down, relax with this book and you won't be able to put it down till the end.

I Wasn't Disappointed
17 Sep 2001
Format:Hardcover
This is not the sort of novel I usually read, but I bought it because Malachy McCourt recommended it, and I wasn't disappointed. It is, indeed, a beautifully written, sweet, sad coming-of-age story, with a lot of local color. Thank you, Malachy, for recommending this delightful tale.
