Melodies of the Heart

A short work by Mary Aris containing 29 poems. Relating to love, relationships and marriage. Although I'm not a huge fan of poems and poetry, these are worth a read. Three in particular stand out for me.... Love's Spirit, Marriage of Souls and Eternal Oath. I feel they would be excellent for couple's to recite at their weddings. All in all, a wonderful quick read that is uplifting and inspiring!

Each chapter reveals more about what Tilly has gone through, what she's going through and how she deals with each aspect of her life. It's emotional, griping and a thoroughly enjoyable read. As always, Allison's characters make you feel as if you know them and are going through their various turmoils, loves, laughs and life's many ups and downs, right along with them.
