She was already good; this is even better

I've always enjoyed Diana Tremain Braund's writing, but her most recent two books have shown us a depth of heart and character that shows growth in an already good author. Aspen's Embers communicates a sensitive touch, first between legitimate environmental concerns and the real people affected by them. So often, when environmentalists are represented, they are treated as either angelic or demonic, depending on the political leanings of the author. In this case, Tremain Braund convincingly argues the concerns of an environmentalist AND the concerns of the local people whose livelihoods are at odds with environmental goals. The other sensitive interplay is between likable, three-dimensional characters who find themselves facing difficult choices. Another in a series of increasingly good books by an author whose work continues to grow in depth and color.

Real women with real lives

Aspen's Embers Finally an author who writes about something other than girl meets girl, girl loses girl. Diana Tremain Braund has taken lesbian literature to a new level. Aspen's Embers not only has romance and wonderful characters, but it also touches on emotional issues that many of us deal with, but few of us get to read about. Lots of kudos to Tremain Braund. I look forward to her next book and hopefully many more books in her future.

Good Book

This is a nice lesbian romance amidst plenty of environmental conflict. The story is fast moving and a pleasure to read.

Another engaging read by Braund

A terrific love story interspersed with so many of today's `real' issues. Romance, economics, environmental issues and the striking realities of everyday life in the Northeast USA. Anyone who lives in the `wilds' of New England has most likely felt, or lived, any number of the issues that this book raises. The revealing of true (and clearly well-researched) depression-related realities, clearly cements Braund's passion and knowledge of these issues and the region. The truly engaged reader will quickly realize the relevance presented here between real life issues and the pains of the challenges of finding....and securing...true love. Well done Diana!

Great Book

After reading all of this author's books, I was impressed with the writing of Aspen's Embers. This author's writing clearly has matured with each of her books. I find that instead of the traditional love story, she introduces themes that are pertinent to each of our lives. Once again she has produced a really good read!
