Praise God for Sharon Ewell Foster

I can not offer enough praise for this novel and the other. This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I highly recommend this book to all my fellow Christians and any lovers of good literature.

Absolutely Inspirational

This was an amazing book from start to finish. Everyone can learn a lesson from this book. I know I did. This book touched me like no other before has. Ms. Foster keep up the good work.

Completely Awesome!!!

This reading was so enlighting to me, I wanted to let the whole world know. Ain't No River had become a guide line for me. I want to be a person that is ready to help others, and willing to atempt to see the right in others first, and not judge their wrong without trying to redeem the right that is in most people. Meemaw is a wonderful person. I want to govern my life to follow in her foot steps, because she is completely awesome!!!

Great reading!

Garvina Daniels was a D.C. attorney. After winning a big (and rich) case for her firm, Winkle and Straub, Garvin was forced into a ninety day administrative leave. No one would tell her anything except there had been allegations of Garvin being biased from the very client she had just won a huge case for! During her leave with pay, she was to prepare to litigate another case upon her return. She was expected to take all the files on the case and all the supplies she needed hoe with her. In fact, if she needed anything else from the office, she was to contact Jonee (one of her close friends) at the firm. Garvin also was trying to help a young lady, Monique, get herself together for a decent future job. Sort of like a mentor. But Monique was a troubled soul that was in dire need of understanding. She no longer believed in anyone or anything. Neither knew that Monique had a few things to teach Garvin about herself! Then there was Go-Go Walker. The man was a mystery to Garvina. Thinking he was after her Meemaw, Garvin kept her eye on him. Instead of proving him guilty of anything, she found herself falling in love, and giving Meemaw some new gray hairs! ***** Sharon Ewell Foster has a new fan in me! This one showed the blinders being pulled off of a woman who thought she was realistic! This is an author to watch closely in the future! Recommended reading!

A Spiritual Uplift

Reading "Aint't No River" was a beautiful love-learning experience that I will not forget. The novel is undoubtedly fiction; however, the spiritual insight is clearly based on scripture. We spend our lives trying to climb the direction we perceive as up. "Ain't No River" reminds us about the real things in life that are important; God, family, friends, truth, and trust. Sharon Ewell Foster's newest novel inspires, touches and teachers. "Ain't No River" is beautifully written and reaffirms Ms. Foster's place among the literary elite.Pamela Walker-Williams, PageTurner.Net
