Joanne's Suggestions


A 3 of my choices are local authors....well except Orson and he is in N. Carolina.

Saints (1984)
Orson Scott Card
fiction
608 pages
paperback

Story of a woman and her brother and mother who left England to follow the Saints to Zion.  This story describes her unexpected  association with the American Prophet and  her sacrifices to follow her heart and spirit.  It is a work of fiction but loosely based on the life of Eliza R. Snow sister to Lorenzo Snow.  I love most of Orson's books but this is his best I think.


Where Angels Fall (2004)
Chris Stewart
fiction
350 pages
paperback

Apocalyptic tale of a Mormon family living in the suburbs of Washington DC with their three sons whose father is a military officer with many burdens, an Arab Prince who is taken in by a minion of  Lucifer, a small Arab boy who has to be hidden because he is an heir to the Arab family throne and a Persian girl born in an obscure mountain village.  All these characters lives are introduced in this novel and their lives intertwined in unexpected ways.  Lucifer is one of the characters.


The Jaguar Prophecies (2010)
Phyllis Gunderson
fiction
224 pages
paperback

A work of fiction and sometimes funny that highlights all the crazy ideas that surround the  12/21/2012 predictions of doom and gloom.  A middle aged woman who teaches ancient literature at an Arizona university with a Chinese adopted teen aged adopted daughter, gets involved in a mystery because of mistaken identity and takes off on some wild adventures.  One of which is to go to China so her daughter can find her "bio mother".  A fast, fun and interesting read.
