Book Review We all make mistakes, and Jo Sinclair made her share. The single mother of several children has wandered from one bad relationship to another. She has several children, but her daughter, Wendy, seems the most affected by her mother’s bad decisions. In an effort to escape an abusive boyfriend, Jo traveled to the New Jersey shore. She found herself at The Breakers, an old hotel being renovated by the owner. She took on the monumental task of painting the interior. Various characters enter the picture at this point. As the Breakers was renovated, so was Jo’s life. She begins to reform herself into a person she can be proud of.
This book would make a great movie. I quickly became wrapped up in Jo’s life--even if I wasn’t sure I liked her. However, I was still bothered by some of her decisions. I wasn’t sure she had truly grown up. There were several errors in this book that a good editor should have caught. I chose this book, because it was written by a Kentucky author. Mary Ann Taylor-Hall has great potential, but The Breakers fell a little short of the goal. |
