Customer Reviews

Excellent Covington installment

I have read almost all of this series and have loved virtually every one. This one focuses on Hannah and her stories more than the others, although all our favorite characters are there to some extent. I appreciate that the author has "matured" the characters enough that grudges aren't kept for long periods of time anymore. That was a bit much in some of the earlier works. This one is just a gentle, wonderful story of the lives of some very interesting people, with very believable situations and reactions. I just loved it. And, from the little spoilers in this book about the last one, Unexpected Family, I'm going to go back and read that one as well (I'd initially decided not to because Amelia has been known for her grudge holding and the story sounded like she could have taken a hundred pages to accept the new people in her life, but the author seems to have mellowed Amelia a bit in that respect and for that I'm grateful). While I'd recommend starting at the beginning of the series, it wouldn't be too confusing to just start here. Thank you, Medlicott, for giving us a series of books with mature, lovable characters and their struggles and triumphs!!!!

Covington Series by Joan Medicott

Latest in the Covington series released in January 2009! Continuing the stories of the ladies of Covington, Joan Medlicott has done it again! I always wait with anticipation for the continuing saga of these three wonderful women. Easy reading and you will not want it to come to an end!

Best Yet

This may be the best of the Covington Series yet. New and exciting things keep happening to the Covington Ladies. This shows we really are only as old as we feel. Easy to follow and a real attention keeper.

Another great story from North Carolina!

As usual, the ladies of Covington entertain us with their lively lives. It's fun to read about the extended families, but the ladies are special. I dread coming to end of the story. Joan's books are so refreshing. Gail Melluzzo
