"Southern Comfort" by Cecelia Dowdy
My Thoughts....
The story starts out very hard for Carl Warner who had just proposed to his girlfriend Leslie and she turned him down. But the story doesn't stop there because there will be some else that will caught Carl's heart. I enjoyed how this author was able to bring in Miriam Beech who hadn't had a wonderful life due to what had happened to her some eighteen years ago which was on her birthday. And now on her birthday at this present time she had been mugged. What will have to happen for her to be able to let all of these bad things that had happened to her stop her from living her life? Will Miriam be willing to seek help for herself? Why was Miriam so protective of her daughter, Jessica? Well, from the story one will see how well she provides working at her Bakery shop along with her partner Patty -Lynn and this was mainly to support for her teenage daughter Jessica. Having a good friend who was her partner and her good friend Woody from back in the day was definitely one of the pluses Miriam did have in her life. I loved how Miriam thought she was going to be able to protect her child wanting her to go to a certain school [Holy Grace University], live at home and work for her at her bakery truly just not wanting Jessica to be to far away from her. Wow, Miriam may have had it all planned out but had she spoken to Jessica about any of these plans, so how will this come out for them? I will say that Miriam really thought she had it all worked out. I thought to myself we do things like this for our children wanting to protect them but yet not looking at the whole picture.
But will this be enough as it seems like her daughter is giving her mother some problems when she found out what plans her mother had for her. We find Jessica definitely seeming to want to shut that down all of her mother's dreams. This story will really go into a lots of drama with her daughter and mother to the part that even when her friends tried to give Miriam advice she doesn't want to hear anything from them. Well, one can see which way the daughter was going so naturally bad things did happen. How will Miriam handle this big problem that her daughter is now into? Will Miriam seek help for herself due to the fact she really needed someone to talk and listen to. What will happen when Miriam is introduced to Carl? I will say at this part of the story I felt sorry for Woody because of how he had felt for so long about Miriam. The two had fallen out a few times in the story but I was glad to see them finally back talking with each other again. I will say Carl was quite a interesting person being blind. I really enjoyed this part of the read due to the fact I guess I had never really thought of all the problems a blind person would have as this story was so well presented to the reader by this author. I could definitely understand some of Carl's reasoning to why he thought about certain things as he did. I loved how Carl and his friend Paul conversed together. I want to think and believe as Carl had thought of his friend [Paul] in the end that all had been work out for him [his beliefs] in the end.
I was glad that Miriam finally decided to tell Jessica about her father which should have been done so long ago. Finally seeing Miriam changing some of her ideas for the good was a real treat in the story and seeing Jessica growing up and taking on responsibility was wonderful. The was definitely one good read that will give one much thought long after the read.
All of the characters were all well developed from Carl, Miriam, Woody, Patty, Lynn, Paul, Jessica, yes, even Tyrese, Carena, Lisa, Marlene, baby...Mary, Mason, Sheila and Tyrese's mom to name a few. There will be a few that may not be liked but over all well defined giving the reader quite a interesting read.
Well, how will this story turn out for: Carl, Miriam and Jessica? Will there be a HEA? Well, to find out I will say you will just have to pick up the wonderful read of "Southern Comfort" and see just how well this author bring this story out so well to the reader. By the end of the story there will be definitely a thank you for all of the blessings that were received from this story.
