EDITORIAL REVIEWS

 

“Willow’s Walk by Rusty Blackwood is the life journey of Willow Lane Sutherland-Crosby. Born near Smith Falls in the Upper Ottawa Valley, on a dairy farm that belongs to her grandfather, she grows up in a closely knit family and is particularly close to her grandfather and father. Upon reaching adolescence, the rebellious Willow falls in love and three years later, at the age of eighteen, she marries Bernard Whidbey. The young couple settles at the Sutherland farm, produces a son, but the strain of marriage soon rears its ugly head. Divorced at the age of nineteen, Willow’s relationship with her mother becomes strained and, four years later, she meets Jonas Crosby. Falling in love again, Willow follows her heart, but will she find happiness and contentment this time?A contemporary romance novel, Willow’s Walk by Rusty Blackwood is a story that is so familiar, making it easy to relate to. There is something, however, that makes Willow Sutherland-Crosby stand out from the rest and that is her capacity to make a decision and stand up for it, and her determination to make the best out of her life. Rusty Blackwood’s creative writing style is simple and smooth and this makes the book such an enjoyable read. Her characters are well rounded and believable, and she always finds a redeeming value in each of them, the villains included, and this makes all of them quite human. And as we follow Willow walking the path of life that she chooses for herself, we are reminded of our own journey too as we, like her, seek love and happiness in our lives. I highly recommend this book!” – Maria Beltrane – Reviewer  – 5 stars

“I just finished Willow’s Walk, following Willow’s foot steps through her life…that takes one on a journey through her mind as well as her life. You listen to her thoughts…you ghost her through her early childhood and early desires and strict upbringing. You see what dreams she wanted for her life when she was young and what direction it really takes her as she grows older, the loves she had and her despair…moving you to her present state of affairs in her adult life, filled with what I think is a spell-binding group of events which roller coaster you as if you were her eyes and ears, and if it hasn’t taken you far enough in one direction…it takes you further with every line….you feel her stress, her helplessness, always with the question in your mind how could she endure any more? She is coastered to different situations…that keep you hanging on every word searching for relief. Beautiful book, wonderful read.. If you get the chance take some time and walk through Willows life with her and enjoy this intriguing story. 5 stars.”

“I am lucky enough to know some very talented artists. I had brought Willow’s Walk to the cottage on my last visit, having a week to read it, thinking, I would only read bits and pieces here and there between walks, cooking, cleaning, eating and enjoying the cottage.

I finished the book in 3 days!
