Customer Reviews

As Reviewed on CBN.com

"A Hundred Years of Happiness" is a treasure...a truly lovely book! Rich characters, down to earth dialogue, and a meaningful storyline make it the perfect summer read. Nicole Seitz has a way with sentences... they flow, they meander, and they artfully weave characters, thoughts, and ideas in the most wonderful manner. By the last chapter I was doing things like sucking in my breath, and saying "Oooo!" It's not that A Hundred Years of Happiness has a surprise ending, but more that it has a deeply satisfying, tender, touching, and poignant ending. It's a beautiful book that will stay with you long after you've turned the last page.

Great Book

I have read all three of Nicole Seitz's novels. A Hundred Years of Happiness was yet another wonderful offering. The story is gripping, as John struggles with his demons and "Katie-bug" tries to find herself. I completely identified with Kate. This is a story of love and redemption. I highly recommend it to everyone!

Definitely worth the read

This is a brilliant story with a modern day fable woven throughout, and it completely pulls you in to the mystery of what really happened forty years before in Vietnam and how it is affecting two daughters now. I don't really want to give away any of the story, but just wanted to say that this is definitely worth the read.

Well researched, heartfelt insight

Nicole Seitz is rewarded for what was undoubtedly tedious research in the culmination of this beautiful work of art. Nicole's talent as an artist is as evident on the cover (her work) as in the pages of this novel that takes you into the minds and hearts of a family of blood and circumstances, stumbling their way back to each other. It is a beautiful novel that lingers long after the final page is turned.

Seitz' new book

Nicole Seitz has joined the great with A Hundred Years of Happiness. She keeps you in suspense and guessing right up to the last page. She has mastered the writing craft and I look forward to her next work. Fred M. Tobinson
