Green Calder Grass

Purchased this book for my daughter who collects everything Janet Dailey. She was really surprised that I got it so soon after ordering. The book was in great condition.

Green Calder Grass

I just finished reading this book today and again I thoroughly enjoyed this book - you feel as through you a living the book with the Calders - you can picture the various scenes in your own mind and even have a picture in your own mind as to how each of the characters look - you feel their emotions and cry with their pain. I ordered this book from the US as I have not been able to find it in Australia. I have now started reading Calder Star.

Green Calder Grass

I thought this was an excellent book. It was the first I had read in the Calder series and just happened to pick it up by chance. I had a hard time putting it down and tending to daily things! I am anxious to read the next in this series...Shifting Calder Wind. Easy to recommend to other readers...BTW, my aunt took my copy and finished it in a day!

This was simply a wonderful sad experience!

If you are an fan of the Calder series, "Green Calder Grass" is a must read. I have been a great fan of Janet Dailey's Calder books and I was so excited when this one came out. Since reading the last book "Calder Pride" (Cats and Logans story), I was so looking forward for the next installment. "Green Calder Grass" is so much pack with emotions and the characters that you just want to know them. Ty and Jessy are my favorite characters, after reading this book I went back to reread "Calder Born, Calder Bred" where they first fell in love. It was wonderful to read more about Ty and Jessy in "Green Calder Grass", they are very happy with the birth of their twin daughter and son. And of course Tara (Ty's first wife)should come back into the picture. Tara's father suddenly dies and she manages to get Ty and his sister Cat to attended his Texas furneral. She uses that opportunity to get an invatation to visit them in Montana. From then on Tara uses everything she can to instigate herself back in Ty's life because she wants him back. Jessy is very lady like with putting up with Tara, she doesn't trust Tara's motives. I commend Jessy, she abosolutely my favorite Calder wife of all the series. She stands up for herself and doesn't not back down from nothing. Although it took a tradegy for her to finally stand up to Tara, I look forward to read more about Jessy and her twins in the next Calder book. I was devestated with death of a main character, but it was just like life and their is not always happy endings. This book stayed with me for days even after I finished reading it. I highly recommend this book, it is a keeper on my bookshelf forever.

A page turner to the end!

Readers will definately want to read the other books in the Calder series to truly appreciate the characters in this story. Dailey does a wonderful job of luring you into the story and keeping you there, with her wonderful detailed description and the love of the characters who we know so well. In this continuation of the Calder series, Chase Calder is back, along with his son Ty and daughter-in-law Jessy. Ty and Jessy face problems from the past in the form of Ty's first wife Tara, who forces her way back into their lives intent on starting trouble. This story takes some unbelievable twist and turns that will test the emotions of true Calder fans. Those who are looking for a story big on romance and "traditional" happy endings might be dissapointed, but for those looking for a story with strong Family roots, a deep love of land and family, strong characters, and a promise of more to come, will not be dissapointed. Well done Janet Dailey.
