One of the most captivating stories I've read in years By David Wind I wasn't sure of what I was getting into when I started Senseless Acts Of Beauty; however, when I finished the novel I knew exactly what it was – one of the best written most captivating stories I've read in years. The title and genre of this novel may fool you; don’t let it, for it far exceeds both.Do not expect me to tell you about the story, other than it is a slice of life you absolutely want to know about, but not necessarily live.Lisa Verge Higgins has created a stunning success of a story that instantly draws you in and forces you to invest emotionally in its three main characters. Then, like the proverbial 18-wheeler running a-muck down the highway, it drags you along whether you want to be there or not. Trust me, you want to share the pages with Tess and Riley and SadieThank you Ms. Verge Higgins for this literary treat.I received an ARC copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

By Kris Anderson - The Avid Reader I just finished reading Senseless Acts of Beauty by Lisa Verge Higgins. Riley Cross has inherited Camp Kwenbook from her grandparents, Mary and Bud. She left her job and husband to return to Pine Lake and the camp. However, the camp is not doing well and Riley is going to have to make some hard decisions. One day Riley discovers Sadie Tischler hiding in one of the sheds on the property. Sadie is a young runaway (14) who is trying to find her birth mother. Sadie’s adoptive parents are deceased and she has been living with her grandmother. The grandmother, though, has dementia and is now being put into a home. Sadie’s only option is to go live with her Aunt Violet (and husband who have four kids).Sadie figured it would not be hard to figure out who her biological mother is in such a small town. Riley who is adopted herself understands Sadie’s need to find out who gave birth to her. Riley gives Sadie a place to stay while Sadie conducts her research.Tess (Theresa) Hendrick grew up in Pine Lake with an alcoholic mother. Tess’ father left when she was twelve, but Tess decided to stay behind with her mother. Tess dealt with her home situation by getting involved with the wrong crowd, drugs, and stealing. Tess left the area and became a trucker in North Dakota. Tess has come to Pine Lake and the camp to keep an eye on Sadie. All three ladies will go through a journey of discovery.I give Senseless Acts of Beauty 2.5 out of 5 stars. I did not enjoy this book. There is a lot of anger and teenage angst. I found a lot of paragraphs were just unnecessary. It is a book that leaves you unsettled and unhappy when the story is over. I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I ended up just reading it to get through it.I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

GREAT BOOK By Rosemary Pennington I received a free copy of this book from Goodreads First Reads in exchange for an honest review.Get those tissues ready.... you are going to need them.This is the first book I have read by Lisa Verge Higgins, and immediately I put her the same category as Jennifer Weiner. After finishing the book, I decided that Lisa Verge Higgins surpassed the emotional level of Weiner. AND, I do love Jennifer Weiner!You get a story with three points of view. The birth mother who cannot let go, the daughter searching for her birth mother, and a lady (already knee deep is family issues) who stumbles upon the runaway. All three are worthwhile, beautiful people filled with passion, anger and the need of acceptance.The life you plan is not always the life you get for you or your child.I loved the book, it was well written and well paced. I could easily imagine being a 14 year old girl abandoned first by my birth mother through adoption, THEN losing my adopted parents through death. But, it doesn't end there. She finally loses her grandmother through dementia. Well-adjusted, our Sadie is not, through her bitterness and rebellion, you see a girl crying out for help. Her story is a powerful one. Love, acceptance is forgiveness is needed on all sides of this trio.I adored this book. I would recommend it for anyone. It is safely among my keepers!Happy Reading.
