Review by Bradley Simpson - Author of Dreamsbane of Tamalor

I have found myself drawn through a tale of great triumph and great loss. I was swept away as the various characters each realized their dreams in turn. Defining it solely as a romance would be a grave mistake because it has lessons of honesty and trust to impart as well. I would definitely recommend this story to those who have the courage to reflect on our modern world.

Charming, intriguing, involving and hard to put down

I wouldn't have guessed "Willow Walk" as a first novel - it was very well written, with a nicely developed plot, excellent character development, and descriptive prose that brought an entire world to life. Hats off to author S.K. Hamilton, she has a worthy talent for authoring. The tone of the book is conversational, the style pleasantly folksy. I was thoroughly entertained. Marvin D.

What A Family Shares

The Kahills of Willow Walk By SK Hamilton ISBN 0-9769969-2-0 The Kahills of Willow Walk by SK Hamilton is a romance not just your typical boy meets girl, boy chases girl until she catches him kind of story, but a real romance. You'll fall in love with Hamilton's voice, style and word choice as you grow to love Kat, Dawson, Granddad Jedediah and are repulsed by some of the rest. You'll want to protect Kat from some of the things the reader is privy to that the characters aren't. We follow Kat's path into the exciting world of fashion with friends Deb and Bonny who provide contrast to Kat's devotion to family values and ties. Valorie and Lincoln bring out Kat's tolerance and strength. As the old saying goes, no one ever enters our lives without a purpose, a reason for being there. Hamilton proves this again and again as Kat grows into the woman we would love to emulate. But it isn't just Kat's passion for her dream it's her heart that cares so deeply for those around her that makes this a unique blend of romance, forte and deeply seated honor that is the back bone of the Kahill tradition. Through the many twists, turns and surprises in this book Hamilton's pen is an equal match to this family saga that is only too short in the telling. The reader constantly wants to know more, follow a missing thread, to find out how Dawson got here, why Kat wound up there etc. All the while we wonder and hope for those side trips this author flawlessly leads us through to the heart warming and satisfying ending. Pick up The Kahills of Willow Walk. Be certain you have a solid block of time to read it because, I guarantee you won't want to close the book until you finish it. SK Hamilton is an extraordinary story teller.

The Kahills of Willow Walk - A must read

I stayed up late last night because I couldn't put this book down! That rarely happens so the author should pat herself on the back. The characters were well-defined and believable, the situations so well set up and carried through, and the ending just perfect. I didn't find any places where it lagged at all. This is such a satisfying book to read. S.K. Hamilton even created the delightful cover. Really good job. Gwen Austin, author
