Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just finished Amazon First Book March 2017 "The Practice House by Laura McNeal".Been sitting here trying to decide how to review it without spoilers. First, I think that Laura McNeal is a very talented writer. She has taken a great cast of characters, set them in the Depression time, added even more sombre situations, thrown in a love triangle, the Kansas dust storms and had them work through all of it. Her ability to take all the emotions, mix them up and let it flow through its course and play itself out. My emotions while reading it were played like a fine tuned instrument. Amazing. The story starts with Scottish lass Aldine McKenna answering an ad looking for a primary teacher in Dorland, Kansas. The ad was placed by Ansel Price who hires her without even an interview. When she arrives in Kansas after traveling from New York, no provisions have been made for her not even a place to stay. The story moves slowly at first and then takes off from there. I highly recommend this book and hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
