PETRA'S REVIEW CORNER:

EDNA LIVED WHAT I ONLY DREAM ABOUT AS A CHILD

This story about a true account of Edna's life, brought back memories of my own childhood, when I dreamed of moving to America and living in the wild wild west. Now that I've read this history of an amazing life and all its ups and downs it tears at your heart strings and you can only imagine all the strenght and determination it took to endure the harsh condition Edna and her family had to endure. I highly recommend this book to all who have so much and don't appreciate it.
I was saddened when the storyline ended, for it was way to early. Edna's life had truly just begun, and I hope Velda Brotherton will consider adding another book to portray the remainder of a life story worth sharing.

FLY WITH THE MOURNING DOVE by Velda Brotherton



This biography of Ednas Smith Hiller's life has been a wonderful read. I followed along as she and her family arrive in a strange and sureal landscape that we know as New Mexico and she learns to love this arrid wilderness. As Edna is dazzled by the beauty of the mountains and secrets of the desert, we watch her grow from a young girl into a woman. The description of the desert is riveting, and reminded me why I too live in the Desert Southwest.

If you ever dreamed of what it may have been like to explore an unknown land then read this book. It will answer all of your questions.
