Great character development and new friends, Mar 13 2010
By L. Wise - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hold Up The Sky (Paperback)
Patricia has done it again when she introduces new characters that we come to love and know as friends. One of the things I greatly admire about Patricia's books is her in-depth character development. Great read. I couldn't put it down and then was sad when I finished because it was like taking a trip and making new friends and then having to leave and wondering how they are doing. I wanted the story to continue so I could visit with them some more!

I loved this book, May 22 2010
By S. Crawford - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hold Up The Sky (Paperback)
I have read many of Patricia Sprinkle's books, and this is my favorite. It is rare that a book makes me cry and laugh, but this one did. These wonderful women and their friends and family became real to me as I read. As with the other reviews, I didn't want this book to end, and I hope we get to meet the characters again.

A heartwarming story, Mar 3 2011
By Alice Chirevas - Published on Amazon.com
Ms. Sprinkle weaves a comforting story about four resilient women who find themselves together facing overwhelming and life changing difficulties.
Billie Waits, the mother of a 5-year old girl with cerebral palsy, has been raising her child alone since her husband deserted her. Now he's missing and the checks she depended on have stopped coming. Mamie Fountain, Billie's childhood nanny, has been told that she`s dying but refuses to stop helping others. Margaret Baxter, Billie's sister, has just been informed by her husband, and father of their two sons, that he no longer wants to be married to her. Emerita Gomez is a Mexican illegal who, with her husband, finds herself in this circle of women when their car breaks down. Together the women spend a long, hot, drought stricken summer and find a kinship that will last long after Mamie passes on.
