I have just finished reading Gloria Beanblossom's book, "The Tamarisk Tree". If you haven't taken the time to read this book, do so as soon as possible. My category for this one is "unputdownable". The author's story line is excellent. This book evoked all kinds of emotions. Happiness, sadness, uneasiness, rage, helplessness and the urge to kill. The story line may have been fiction, but the religious group portrayed in the book is captured to a "T". Ms. Beanblossom had to have done a lot of research to write this one.
The Tamarisk Tree

Not really "religious fiction", as it's classified, this is a surprisingly dramatic novel. I could easily see it becoming an award-winning TV or full-length movie.I think it definitely has "best-seller" potential.
One of the Best

Being my sister-in-law does not sway my opinion whatsoever of this author. I am an avid reader of all kind of writing and this has got to be one of the most rivoting reads that I have had. It took me several tries to locate "The Tamarisk Tree" and the day I finally received it, I started reading and could not put it down. Having been obsessed with a certain religious belief during my younger years, I can relate to the torn and confused feelings that Abby experienced. Gloria is a very intense and devoted writer and I wish only the best in her future endeavors. You go, Girl!
The Tamarisk Tree is truly a "must read"

I just finished reading The Tamarisk Tree by Gloria Beanblossom. I read the book in two days because I could not put it down until it was finished. Beanblossom is a new author with a world of talent. Her story of Abigail Hoffman's heartaches and happiness in her young life and world will touch your heart to the very core. Anyone who reads this book and doesn't think it one of the best, doesn't know much about life. I hail this lady and her writing abililty. I can't wait for her next book to come out.
