Very enlightening read. Nov 17, 2006
This story really drew me in. It was frightening how someone who was trusted by family and friends could do such evil things. A true account of what can happen to good, kind people who trust someone too much.
I Couldn't Put It Down! Nov 17, 2006
This was a great book! When I started reading this book I thought the middle of the story was an odd way to begin but, by the time I had read chapter 2 and chapter 3 I realized what a clever tactic this was. You not only learn this woman's story but you also start to understand why she made the decisions she made & how someone can get to know you & gradually start to use your weaknesses to control not only your actions but your inner-most thoughts. This book is very well written and a good insight into the cult life style & manipulations by it's leader. I started reading it one evening and at midnight I was still telling myself--just one more chapter---it's hard to put down! You not only want to find out what happens next but also why it happens the way it does. I will anxiously be waiting for Linda French's next book

Good Versus Evil Nov 16, 2006
In "Reflections of Her Mountain Look" Jenny's search for a more godly life
takes an extraordinary direction.
Anyone who has struggled with years of hardships can identify with Jenny
wanting a new start. Her desire to have a closer relationship with her
family, a more spiritual relationship with God and a feeling of security with both led her face to face with evil. She and her family were mentally and physically abused and brainwashed. Through the pain and disappointment she fought back - she fought the deceitful leader of this cult (who was someone she idolized), she fought legal battles and she fought battles with her own guilt.
This writer has an exceptional talent of putting you in Jenny's shoes. She takes you on a frightening journey. Frightening because Jenny's desires are just like ours. Could this happen to us? It has taken amazing strength and faith to write this story. This is the book
I can't stop talking about - this is the book I have recommended to all my friends.
Harrowing Experiences Nov 03, 2006
Jenny was a young woman who was seeking something that had been missing from her life (or so she thought). The horrific circumstances her family found themselves in seemed to offer no way out. "Reflections of Her Mountain Look" is based on a true story originating in Central IL and is a must read. You won't be able to put it down until you have finished reading about their entire journey.

What an Amazing Story! You Must Read!!! Oct 20, 2006
This is an incredible story that will not allow you to put the book down until you are finished! Jenny is an amazing woman to be able to write about this horrific experience and have it make sense. It's about mistrust, mistakes and forgiveness. Anyone who is faced with unbearable obstacles in their life should read this and know that it is possible to not only overcome such evil but go on to live a happy and rewarding life. This is a must read book to share with your friends.
Thank you Jenny.
