Waters of Marah

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope there is a sequel in the making, as I want to find out more about Gloria, her friends and family!

Gloria's journey to independence is a lesson that many of us can learn from. A well-written novel with a host of interesting characters, I highly recommend this book.

Sylvia Bambola's Waters Of Marah is the novel of Gloria Bickford, a young woman who feels inadequate compared to the legend of her actress and beauty queen mother. In what Gloria feels is a response to the call of God, she leaves behind life her in tiny hometown and experiences the ways of the city - yet when Gloria is caught in a crucible that pits business and emotional interests against one another, her true purpose in striking out on her own may turn out to be dramatically different than what she expected. A superbly crafted novel of the first order, Waters Of Marah is very highly recommended reading.
