The Lost Girls of Devon Paperback – July 14, 2020

Wow. What an emotional novel this was to read. There were small areas I’d rather weren’t so deeply explored, and the narrative was confusing until I got into the story. But what a necessary work that illuminates many issues we women have, universally. Definitely recommend it. It would make a great book club choice because it would be a forum for identifying issues and the ramifications of our collective choices.

Nice long read, except at end, got wrapped in warp speed. Some of the joyful moments were sweeped into paragraph, wrap up in prologue..

I loved the journey of this book and the character development. I felt connected to them in an emotional way. Predictable without being trite. It kept me wanting to read more!

Barbara O’Neal is my new favorite author. I adore the fresh truth of her books; her understanding of a woman’s heart. It is so refreshing to read her stories, her people, interwoven through the joys, the hopes, the fears, the disappointments, the grief, the loss and loneliness, the healing, the forgiveness, the love, and finally, the acceptance of the failings we all share. I love the way she brings romance into her stories - not as the main focus, but as the sweet and gentle thing that it is. For while it may be the spark of chemistry that first grabs us, it is the constant road we travel with our lover that leads us through all the difficult, yet precious things that make up our lives together until one day we glance in the mirror and wonder how we could possibly have gotten this old, this quick. And we sigh and realize that, throughout the years, we have ceased to linger in the passion of youth and simply rest in the knowledge that time and love have made us soul mates and we are exactly where we want to be. Ms O’Neal gives us this with her stories. It is a gift! Whether you are a daughter, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a wife, or a combination of these, you will find snippets of yourself in her books. And you will be a better person for having read her beautiful stories. I highly recommend this book.

Always learning a lesson when reading one of Barbara O'Neal's books. I love the sense of family and sisterhood in her books. They are more than a simple romance book, I had to admit.

This was a good book. I feel there was to much information given about each character. I feel you could make this book outstanding if it was edited more.I kept reading and as the book progressed it became more interesting.

Her stories always touch my heart and refresh my thankfulness to be from a close knit family of loving women.

Another great book by my now, favorite author!A mystery, story about family, life, choices we make and forgiveness. It's hard to decide which book i enjoyed the most at this point.A must read!!!
