Here we have girls on the opposite end of the color spectrum, but their journey through life is equally painful. Pashen has only her mother, but when Mr. Bill takes interest in Alma, the life cozy life the mother and daughter has begins to change. Valencia had both parents, however, feelings changed that would alter her family dynamics. When their paths cross it had to be for a reason and reading Glowing Embers Ina Dying Fire by Elissa Gabrielle and Angelia Vernon Menchan will explain to you the connection these young ladies had before they ever met.The two young ladies were smart beyond their years. They were placed in situations that forced them to react as an adult would. They never allowed what anyone said about them to tear their spirits down. That's the best part of the story, finding positive moments when none were in sight.The collaboration was nicely done, however, because I have read many of Mrs. Menchan's books it was easy for me to pinpoint the parts she wrote and the character she developed. I have never read Ms. Gabrielle before, but I am very interested in reading more selections by her. There were a few mistakes and detail discrepancies, but nothing that took away from the story, however it made me question what I read previously. I would recommend Glowing Embers in a Dying Fire to readers looking for a deep story.Jennifer CoissiereWords Mosaic Reviews
