A HUNDRED MAGICAL REASONS

Carrie Kruisselbrink’s parents are expecting her to spend her summer applying for teaching positions.  But that is the last thing Carrie wants.  She flees the grasp and control of her parents and runs to supportive safe haven…her grandparents house.  Her dreams of owning her own café are finally within her reach. 


She takes a job with Mrs. Charlotte Rose Gordon.  She is eighty-eight years old and she wants to clear her husband’s name of a crime that happened in 1918.  Carrie enjoys her time with Charlotte, reading to her while Charlotte tells her stories from her past.  The time spent with Charlotte is helping Carrie work through issues of her own past.  


A Hundred Magical Reason, written by author Laura DeNooyer, is a wonderful story of past meets present.  I love time slip novels and this story is a masterpiece.  I enjoyed Charlotte and her stories were very intriguing.  I was very interested in what story she was going to tell next.  Carrie was inspiring and she showed courage to leave her controlling parent’s house and chase her dreams.


I enjoyed this book from cover to cover and found myself reading well in to the night as I didn’t want to put it down.  I love DeNooyer’s smooth writing  style.  She definitely keeps the reader engaged in her stories and I  highly recommend this amazing book, a definite must read.
