It\u2019s been five years since Beatrice Desmond settled on her llama farm in Seneca County, west Virginia. Clara Buckhalter who came to live temporarily with Beatrice at thirteen has become the latter\u2019s permanent daughter. She has started school at Beatrice\u2019s alma mater on a scholarship. But things take a wayward turn after Clara\u2019s scheming mother returns in her life and manipulates certain situations for her own sinister motives. The pacing of the book is even, the prose top-notch, and Forde\u2019s storytelling skill will draw the reader right from the beginning. The characterization shines as Forde draws carefully sketched, rich characters and weaves a convincing reality from their intricate emotions. Animal lovers will hate to miss the book. Highly recommended!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Reinventing Hillwilla <\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">by Melanie Forde<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">Mountain Lake Press<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1730785492\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">PUB DATE November 4, 2018<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">ISBN 9781730785498<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-family:Calibri;\">PRICE $15.95 (USD)<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; A remarkable page-turner\u2026 A moving exploration of relationships, family dynamics, and notions of home, the final installment in Hillwilla Trilogy is a definite hit.
