Rena's Silver Lining
When spirited and privileged Rena Boiles accepts a clerical spot in customer service instead of the management position she applied for, her life takes a big turn. Intriguing co-worker, Clarice McDaniels knocks the sting out of her disappointment about the misleading job posting on the first day. As these two girls, who at first seem to have little in common, get to know each other, they discover that they have more in common than not. And, when they become friends outside of work and meet the other’s family, each sees her own world a little clearer because of what she has learned from the other. Rena’s Silver lining is a short novel about friendships and mother-daughter relationships.

Great Reading!
I really enjoyed reading Rena's Silver Lining. I was hooked from the first paragraph and the author never let go. The story is told in the first person perspective by two different characters. The author does a wonderful job of giving each woman her own voice and allowing the reader to easily differentiate between them.
The two main characters are Rena and Clarice. Rena is a rich who grew up almost taking it for granted and being somewhat bored or embarrassed by her parent's lifestyle. She makes certain assumptions about her parent's and the people around her. Clarice is the total opposite of Rena. She has spent her life in a trailer park living under horrible conditions, yet she faces the world with a smile and a sunny disposition. She has her own set of assumptions about the world and the people around her.
The two women meet by chance at work and become immediate friends. Neither has any idea how much the friendship will change their lives and the way they view the world around them. It was a wonderful book. My only complaint is that the story ended leaving me wanting more. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Of course I loved this book since I wrote it. I rated it 4 out of 5 because I'm never completely satisfied with anything I write. That's probably why I keep them sitting around until technology has changed so much that I have to rewrite parts when I finally do decide to turn them loose. And, I'm sure I probably missed a typo or few. And, then, there's that fear that it would be rude to rate myself the same as I do Pat Conroy and Craig Lancaster.

A most excellent journey into the souls of two unforgettable women. Could not put this one down. Bravos in order.
