Tower of Strength

Much More Than a Mere Five Stars!Wow, I didn't think I would ever like a book again as much as Annette Lyon's "House on the Hill", but this one was just as fulfilling. A story of strength, sorrow, honor and compassion, the characters and their feelings were easy to relate to. Different incidences blended together in a compelling tale.
