My Review of The Twisted Circle by Rosaliene Bacchus — Anything is Possible!
JoAnne Macco, now retired, has worked for thirty years as a mental health therapist, specialized in addictions and codependency. Growing up in a military family, she lived in six U.S. states and Canada. Her love for nature, art, and writing became the constants in her life. In her first book, Trust the Timing: A Memoir of Finding Love Again, Macco tells the story of how her high school sweetheart found her thirty-nine years later when the timing was perfect. She blogs at “Anything is Possible!” where she writes about relationships, spirituality, and hope. She lives with her husband in North Carolina.

TCK, I’m so glad that you like JoAnna’s review 🙂 It’s fascinating to read the various reviews of my novel. As readers, we connect in different ways with a story depending upon our life experiences and where we currently are in our lives. As a young woman who has lived in three different countries, you will no doubt see and appreciate things that others readers might not.

That’s very true. Not only can I appreciate multicultural books, but also monocultural books that give you a deep sense of what the culture is about. I read the book Iron Widow last year, and I was amazed at how deep a sense I got about Chinese culture from it

A nice review. God the father is what every Nun should know undoubtedly. Nuns are simply people and women ( with conflicts and weaknesses) who are working on their devotion to God. Have a good week .
