There is no betrayal quite like religious betrayal, and there is no circadian cycle quite like this twisted circle. What makes [The Twisted Circle] more poignant is knowing the author draws from some of her own experience having been in a religious Catholic community for seven years. The novel is written in a fast pace that carries the reader along places, encounters, and historical events around the 70’s and 80’s in Guyana where the author was born.

It certainly is Rosaliene – with so many other things vying for our attention you did well to capture someone’s for a time. My eldest son has just returned to reading after a long time away and the peace in his face says it all. Reading is good for the soul. I can’t wait to read your book.

Sounds interesting and now I can’t help but wonder why my day has revolved around various concepts regarding “circles”. Is God trying to tell me something?

Tammy, it’s worth consideration. The circle has powerful symbolism in our lives.

Thanks very much, Dr. Stein! The nuns would definitely not approve of your suggestion 😀 “Too much vanity,” they would say.

I never treated any nuns, but knew or treated several ex-priests and other clergymen. All interesting people. I have begun the book and am eager to read more.

I think political betrayal may be almost as bad as religious betrayal. People trust blindly, and they are hence led down the garden path. Congratulations on the great review!

Congratulations on another great review! I wanted to tell you that I am going to have to wait to get your book. My mother’s emergency made us end up in a financial rut and we aren’t doing presents this year. When I get my business going, I promise I will get your book!

And may happiness fill your heart
