BookRoom Reviews makes shelf space for JANEOLOGY
Hi friends,
BookRoom Reviews has given the literary thumbs up to Janeology. What would that be exactly? Hi-five pencils ? Either way, I was delighted to read their wonderful review. (See below)
They also invited me back to answer Five Questions including thoughts about my bookcover and what my own personal bookroom looks like. Check out the pic of my own library, which includes my antique Underwood typewriter then leave a comment about your own bookroom.
BookRoom Reviews Recommendation of JANEOLOGY
"Tom Nelson’s wife Jane suddenly snaps one day and drowns their two year old twins. One survives and the other doesn’t. Jane is found not guilty by reason of insanity and is sentenced to an institution for life. A year later, the prosecution decides to try to convict Tom for negligence. Tom’s mother hires a lawyer who brings in a psychic who delves into Jane’s past to come up with a defense for Tom. What they begin to uncover is shocking, and may just reveal why a mother would kill her own children. We have all heard the phrase “the sins of the father” and it is just this concept that the author, Karen Harrington, explores. Just who is to blame for this horrible crime? How can a mother commit such a horrible act? These are all questions we ask every time we see something like this on the news. Janeology is original in that the story consists of flashbacks told through the psychic who goes back in time into Jane’s past to see what may have led her to do such a thing. In fact, my favorite part of the story was about Jane’s ancestors. This was exactly what made Janeology unique. It causes us to think about these questions and that is what makes for a good book. The subject matter may be hard to read, especially for mothers, but Janeology is a thoughtful and challenging book and that is why I would highly recommend it."
