Book Reviews of Dawn Of Change
Book Review: Five Stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
What more is there to say? Gerri Hill again came out with a fabulous story. My only complaint is that it ended too quickly!Book Review: Change is Only the End of the Road If You Fail to Make the Turn...
Summary: 5 Stars
Being an enthusiastic fan of Gerri Hill, I started reading `Dawn of Change' the afternoon it arrived in my mailbox. Hill delivers a quality story that competes with the best authors in the genre and certainly didn't disappoint this reader.
On the surface, the story is reminiscent of something from Jackie Calhoun. The protagonists are an attractive married woman (Susan) -- who is currently going through a divorce - and an irresistible lesbian (Shawn). Of course Susan leaves her husband for Shawn, but this wouldn't be a lesbian romance otherwise. This is all true on the surface. However, Hill incorporates Susan's worst nightmare --her family-- into the mix.
There is Ruth, Susan's older sister, who appears very prudish and shallow at first blush. But there is actually much more to Ruth and this reader felt sorry for her by the end. Susan's mother pokes her nose in as well, but she's less intrusive than Ruth. Then there is Susan's supportive daughter who reveals something new about herself as well. Contrast that with Shawn's dysfunctional, non-existent family and her rocky past. Shawn has secrets of her own that she feels compelled to share with Susan.
As the two women alternately console each other through emotional times, their budding friendship becomes much more complicated. It is this emotional journey that truly keeps the reader engaged and makes this book a must read. Highly recommended as a permanent addition to your personal collection.

This is the 1st book I have read by Gerri Hill and I sat down down with it and read it straight through. Then I read it again. Now I am rereading the parts that I really like :-)
I absolutely love when an author can grab your attention and leave you wanting. The writing and characters are phenomenal!!!!
Thank you.
Book Review: Strong Entry in Hill's List
Summary: 5 Stars
Susan has walked out of her marriage after catching her husband in their bed with a 20-something woman. She escapes to the couple's cabin in the King's Canyon National Park. One day, while walking one of the trails, a dog bounds across the river to shake muddy cold water all over her. The dog's owner, Shawn, apologizes, and that seems to be the end of their encounter. But you have to know that with a Gerri Hill book, that is only the beginning.
In this outing, Hill takes a very married, but basically unhappy, woman and shows how she deals with the end of a 20-year marriage, with her family, and with new friends. There are many sub-plots in this book, but the one you love to hate is the sub-plot involving Susan's sister and mother who are insistent that she return to her husband and their life in society. The sub-plot you love to love is Susan's daughter's coming out.
This is one of Hill's stronger outings. She doesn't rush Susan's angst over ending her marriage nor does she rush the obvious attraction Susan begins to feel toward Shawn. Once again, Hill develops characters that you'd like to know better.
