Review by Reader’s Favorite:

With the charm of a magician and the brush strokes of a master painter, Joy Ross Davis creates such vivid imagery of time and place, and characters as real as your own friends and family, that you’ll feel like you are living inside the pages of Emalyn’s Treasure.

You become the characters, experiencing each step of the story as it unfolds before you. And just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, along comes another surprise that leaves you laughing and crying at the same time.

These are the best kinds of stories, the kind that take you on an emotional journey. One second you’re blowing your nose and wiping your eyes, the next you are chuckling and diving back for more.

Review by Sandy Signing In:

EMALYN’S TREASURE is a love story set in Ireland during the 1930s. The passionate relationship between Lady Emalyn and her beloved Owen is the cornerstone of the story. I enjoyed the beautifully portrayed gentleness between them, and I was buoyed up by the couple’s inner strength and dedication to all that is good and true.

In the midst of this love story, a wonderful element of mystery kept me in suspense, while elements of danger added a haunting quality. This story has it all, a need for tears that express both sadness and joy, and to top it all off, the ending comes as a surprise.

When I finished the book, I was left with a feeling that there is a perfect plan to life, even when the road has been a very difficult one.
