"Gwyn Rubio's tale is gripping in it's depiction of a family caught in the throws of syphilis. The effects of the deadly nightmarish disease creates terror both thrilling and in the end heroic. A great read."

    " I just could not get into this book like I did with "Icy Sparks". I found it dull. Some of the characters just annoyed me to no end. I couldn't even finish the book... "

    " This book was good but took me much longer than most books to get through. It did not move fast, but told a good story. "

    " This book had a good storyline behind it but the writing wasn't consistent.It would grab your interest then lose it . I think it kept dropping the storyline so it was difficult to keep focused .It did have a glimpse into societal values in that time period. "

    " This was an interesting book. . .the writing is great, but I'm still undecided about whether I liked the story or not. It was definitely a compelling read. I found it difficult to pull myself away. "

    " Post Civil War southern Georgia, turpentine farming, and "a family rocked by illness, addiction and bitter rivalry". The past lays its imprint across generations. Beautiful depiction of nature's beauty and a slice of Southern life. "

    " It's been a while since I've read this book so I'm doubtful my review will be very helpful. I can say that I usually remember quite a bit about the books I read and this one seems to not be memorable. Not a good thing but it is not standing out as one I intensely disliked either. "

    " I randomly picked this up at the library, thought it would be an interesting time period to read about, but it was so boring I finally gave up. I hate to not finish books, but I couldn't even make it halfway through. I haven't disliked a book this much in a long time. "
