Searching For Tina Turner - Jacqueline E. Luckett


Book Description:
On the surface, Lena Spencer appears to have it all. She and her wealthy husband Randall have two wonderful children, and they live a life of luxury. In reality, however, Lena finds that happiness is elusive. Randall is emotionally distant, her son has developed a drug habit, and her daughter is disgusted by her mother's "overbearing behavior." When Randall decides that he's had enough of marriage counseling, he offers his wife an ultimatum: "Be grateful for all I've done for you or leave." Lena, realizing that money can't solve her problems and that her husband is no longer the man she married, decides to choose the latter.

My Review:
This was a fantastic story about a woman finding herself later in life. Truly inspiring and entertaining all at once!
Lena Spencer is a character that was well formed. You will find yourself rooting for her though out every situation she is faced with. She really is a great character who deserves the best!
This is another fantastic read, that a lot of people, not just me are raving about. I say, get a copy and give it a read. We all need a little inspiration now and again, this will surely do it.


~I received a copy from the author and Hatchette Book Group for review and tour. I was not compensated for my opinion.~

    I guess I am the odd reviewer out. I really did not enjoy this book.

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
