**********************
I have become a big fan of Denise Hildreth since reading The Will of Wisteria and Flies on the Butter, so I knew that I needed to check out her Savannah series as well. I am happy to report that I have now started the Savannah series and I am loving it! This first installation has me hooked and ready for more!!
In this novel, we meet Savannah Phillips – aka Savannah from Savannah. She has just finished her studies at the University of Georgia and makes a rash (at the time) decision to return to her home in Savannah, Georgia. It is in going back home that Savannah starts to learn to relate better to those around her. Throughout the novel, she realizes her own strengths and weaknesses of character and learns to appreciate those in others as well.
The way Denise Hildreth writes, her characters come to life. Savannah truly seems as if she could be any one of a number of people I have known all my life. She’s real and readers can relate to her. She’s not perfect and has her quirks, but is endearing all the same.
I enjoyed this novel from cover to cover. Can’t wait for the remaining two novels in this series!
