Review:
"Ray of Hope" by Vanessa Davis Griggs was another wonderful novel.This
beautiful story of a seventy-five year old grandmother who kept her two
granddaughters during the summer who had some major issues she had to
deal with. This grandmother who was called Ma Ray was deeply rooted in memories of her own past and common sense and with all of this she was there to help her two granddaughters.
This novel was definitely one of those that once I started reading "Ray of Hope"
I could not put it down until I finished...so 4 and 1/2 hours later...I finished
a truly wonderful, beautiful well written book. This was truly a read that you you will see in the end that the granddaughters maturing and seeing things in life quite differently.
The characters are something...from Ma Ray, Sahara, Crystal, Lenora, Andre,
June Bug,Tosie, Erin and a few others... making this novel simply off the chart a good read. If you have never read any of Ms. Vanessa Davis Griggs reads...be sure to pick this one up. You will not be sorry.
Ray of Hope is about a grandmother trying to give advice to her out of control granddaughters. "Each time the girls were in a predicament, Ma Ray always had a solution." Ma Ray wanted the girls to have a positive outlook on life and not move on only impulse and most of all the granddaughters learned that their grandmother was not a push over...being unable to pull crazy stuff with her. YES! What a grandmother.. that always had a good solution. Now, this is where I say you must pick up this read "Ray of Hope."
"Ray of Hope" is a story definitely that will benefit today's youth(teens) and
I would highly recommend this for a excellent read for all.

My husband gets talking books for the blind- so we are constantly checking out different authors. He just finished Ray of Hope. we were both so very pleased I am on a search for additional titles. This story is centered around teens and the struggles they face - great book for our teens I identified wonderful sections with tips for dealing with teens successfully, encouragement for the seniors to be more vocal about their mistakes and to become involved with our youth. This is definitely a book for teens and older. Adult topics (drugs,sex, HIV, AIDS,etc)
