In the last several years i,ve been reading like there's no tomorrow . in that time, the words of approximately 1000 books have traveled through my mind (all western). at the end of each i write on the front page a short comment. some i"ve had to use a 3x5 card for more space. I,pearl heart is one of those books. the story will make your heart feel like you should jump into the book and help pearl get through life. i felt like jumping in and strangling some of the villians, hugging the very few good people. i am emotional anyway but was surely hopping pearl would find happinees by the end, or i,d burn the book. this was one of the best books ever.
An Excellent Story

Jane Candia Coleman has become one of my favorite authors. She knows what she is writing about and she seems to understand the times so well. This is a wonderful book that describes Pearl's life and struggles. Her hopes for love and all of her disappointments. I could not put it down and recommend it to all.
Story telling as it should be

If writing is story-telling this is a prime example. Detailed enough to set the scene but lean enough to make a swift exciting read. A terrific blend of feminine and masculine insights to be savored by both. This is my third Coleman and I've yet to be disappointed.
Another enjoyable book by Jane Candia Coleman

I have found that Jane Candia Coleman is one of my favorite authors. She has not disappointed me with "I, Pearl Hart." I have recently acquired more of her books, but as of yet, I have not had the time to read them. I am looking forward to them very much. I have just finished "Pearl Hart" and enjoyed it very much. However, my favorite book by Jane Candia Coleman is "Doc Holliday's Woman". She writes of times that I find very interesting and fascinating. I just wish I had more time to read.Hopefully, I will start "Stories from Mesa Country" next week or so.
