    This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. It made me laugh out loud and it had life lessons to be learned also. A real page turner. This was my first book by this author---I have since purchased 5 more and am looking forward to the winter to read.

    Charlotte Figg Takes Over Paradise made me laugh, cry, and cheer. I stayed up too late many a night because I wanted to find out how each new twist would be resolved and to know Charlotte and her neighbors better. Joyce Magnin's characters come to life as they encounter life's challenges and bond together to face them . Each one learns something about taking risks, being willling to trust, and accepting oneself and others, all while having some good fun! In these pages you will find comedy, tragedy, romance, mystery, and adventure. This is a fun book with a message of hope in the midst of adversity.

    A few months ago, I fell in love. In love, that is, with the small fictional community of Brights Pond. In love with characters who revealed strength, frailty, and a generous dash of fun. In love with an author whose penchant for Converse sneakers mirrors her fresh, distinctive voice.I loved Joyce Magnins debut novel, THE PRAYERS OF AGNES SPARROS and was delighted to receive an advance reader copy of her September release, CHARLOTTE FIGG TAKES OVER PARADISE. Although Charlotte Figg is also a Brights Pond novel from Abingdon Press, it has only limited connections to Agnes and should not be considered its sequel. The colorful characters of Charlotte Figg live in their own unique world.In quick succession, Charlotte Figg becomes a widow, buys a mobile home in the Paradise Trailer Park sight unseen, and moves into it with her dog Lucky. Soon, she begins an unlikely friendship with free-spirited artist and prayer warrior Rose Tatoo. The relationship yields new purpose for Charlotte when Rose half-prays, half-pushes her into the role of founder/manager of a womens softball team. As the Paradise Angels season progresses, Charlotte discoversand revealssome less-than-comfortable truths about herself, her fellow players, and her God.One of my favorite elements in both books is Magnins uncanny ability to use flawed but believable characters to display painful truths. Charlotte Figg forces its namesake to confront not only the abusive marriage in which one of her players is trapped but her own past wounds as well.Plot twists combine to propel the story in a direction readers may not intend to go. But dont let the hot topics scare you. Find a quiet spot and savor this book. Its combination of tough and tender goes down with all the appeal of one of Charlottes homemade pies.Read the book, visit Paradiseand fall in love all over again.
