Narrative Conducive To Books Roses for Mama (Women of the West #3)
That was sweet!! <3 The Characters: Angela - at times I really liked her, but it wasn't all the time. It was especially when she did something so silly that I groaned about! Obviously, no one can always do the right thing! ;) I like how compassionate she was with her siblings, but personally, I kind of thought at times she was overdoing it in trying to raise them. (Maybe that's just me!) Anyway, once she figured out that one decision she made was a bad move, things started to get better for her! Thomas - such a sweet brother! Loved him! :) Louise - she was definitely growing up! I like her! She reminds me of one of my sisters! Sara - haha!! Her personality was funny! Derek - awww! <3 *gives him a hug* Thane - *squeals* He was the best!! The nicest friend ever, nicest everything! :D Yes, I'm being really exaggerating, but he was really sweet! He understood the siblings so well! After all, he was their best friend! Charlie and Gus - those two cracked me up! (view spoiler)[I'm so happy they got saved! <3 (hide spoiler)] Felt bad for them too at one point! Trudie - she was rather a nut! (view spoiler)[She can take Carter, I have nothing else to say! :D (hide spoiler)] Carter - *coughs* Please, I shouldn't give him a section, but I must. Let's just say he had a lot of problems for someone who acted so "perfect," and leave it at that! :P The Story-line: I did like the story-line. Angela and Thomas have to take care of their younger siblings because of their parents death, and it's a lot harder than they expect! Of course, not all western stories are that thrilling, but this one I did like! Throughout the story, the main characters are getting older, things start happening, which makes tension start rising. ;) I loved how the siblings would do the Memory Game and each tell each other memories they remember of their parents! There were also lessons tied into those memories too! :) I also love how the salvation message is tied in the story! Content: Two kisses done by unmarried couples (view spoiler)[During the first kiss, Angela was thinking to herself "so this must be what falling in love feels like" (hide spoiler)]. A couple kisses on the forehead and hand. Some hugs. All-in-all: I really liked it! A sweet story-line and a simple read. I'd probably re-read it if I want something easy to read!

This is my second time reading "Roses for Mama." It is just one of those spending-a-relaxed-day-reading type of books for me. The first time I read it, I was annoyed with Angela and her choices. Since I knew the conclusion this time, I could endure it just well and was able to focus on more of the behind-the-scenes workings on. It remains one of my favorite Janette Oke books, which is amusing, because I don't like backstory (there was an entire chapter backstory) and I don't care for beingI just finished this read for about the dozenth time! This time I got to read it out loud and enjoy it with my daughter. I love this book! It touches the heart and has a great faith message. My daughter really enjoyed it. We were able to have some good talks about it as well. There is just nothing like reading a Janette Oke book!
my first Janette Oke novel. I'm sure most people find this book simple and "sappy" but I love the goodness in it. Instead of trying to rid my mind of bad words or images the book put in, I find myself remembering the sweet story of a family left parentless and the 'love story' of Angela and Thane.

A reread. One of my favorite Janette Oke books.
Coming togetherI love these books but so far after reading the third one in the Women of the West series they don't have a continuing story about the same people. I always liked that in series.
Janette Oke is the author I go to when I need something relaxing to read. Once more this book did just that for me. It didn't take long to read, but the story is sweet and there are still good lessons throughout. This one wasn't my favorite as Carter took up a lot of the story and it was a little ridiculous. I would have loved to know more about Thane!All in all I'd recommend this for lovers of a simple story, and especially if you've enjoyed others by this author.
Beautiful story from Janette Oke, about the family who loses their parents and how the two oldest step up to raise their younger siblings. Warm and fuzzy story with a little romance. Look forward to reading the others in this series.
