pure Jul 05, 2008
A Letter to My Sisters: The Way Out V.L. Green has shown us that a good romance novel can still be captivating without all the explicitness and vulgarity. He book is so well written. I couldn't put it down. Each episode made me want to find out what would happen next. She is certainly an author to keep up with. May God continue to bless your work V.L.

Green turns to fiction in memorable romance Jul 03, 2008
Author V. L. Green, a Mississippi native, has crafted the endearing tale of Pamela Charles in the Chrician romance WHEN DESTINIES MEET.
The end result is a story that will stike a chord with men and women alike with its portrayal of how a bruised heart can almost destroy you if not addressed.
Set in Mississippi, the main character, Pamela Charles, is a woman who many can identify with. She allowed herself to love once and was rewarded with heartbreak. Vowing to never make that mistake again, she throws herself into her work---effectively managing to shut out most people, including her family. When her health is threatened, the Charles family rallies to her side to intervene, setting the stage for love to once again find a home in her heart.
There are many things about this book that struck a chord with me.
For one, I could identify with Pamela and her feelings about not being suckered again by the treacherous waters of love and romance.
Her mother tries to help her deal with the pain she has endured with this encouragement: "You need to let go of the past. You can't change it. Accept it. Let it go... Find someone. Fall in love."
If only it was that easy. Always quick on her feet and ready to defend her rationale, Pamela fires back with this conclusion: "There is no such thing as love. It's an illusion weak people use because they're afraid to be alone. I'm neither afraid nor weak."
In her own words are the fears that a great deal of us have when it comes to love: the uncertainty of how it will change us. Pamela was so careful not to be perceived as afraid or weak that she hardened herself against anything that was outside her comfort zone.
Just as it seems that there is no hope for Pamela to find love, Green introduces her and others to the hope of a second chance at love.
Anthony Newman is the man she wanted and needed but thought she could never have. No matter how much he tried to show his feelings were genuine, Pamela as not making it easy for him.
But is anything worth having ever really easy? The author makes us carefully consider this. WHEN DESTINIES MEET will cause the reader to ask if everything truly does happen for a reason.
Is it possible we have to be broken in order to be rebuilt the right way?
Cleverly written, with moral lessons throughout, it is a book that will make you want to believe in the possibility of happily ever after again.

A Journey Worth Taking Feb 10, 2008
I have read this book so many times, and I never tire. It always leaves me feeling good about life -- even those disappointing moments. It's like meeting up with an old friend. I think the author does a wonderful job of communicating how God is always working on our behalf -- even when things seem to go wrong. I am so thrilled that I took the journey with Pamela and Anthony. I highly recommend it.

 Great Read Sep 21, 2007
I love reading Christian romance. The characters were inspiring and the novel flowed very well. This is the first I've read of V.L. Green but I would enjoy reading her again - she ranks right closely up there with my other favorites Ryan Phillips and Kendra Norman-Bellamy.

The first book I read was a gift, the second............... Jun 30, 2007
First of all, I want to thank Stanley for being kind enough to give me the first book I read by this author. I was moved by the deep simplicity of her work. By that I mean, I found that I felt her work and could feel her love for her work. I often feel that the truest words flow from the heart to the mind and then through the fingers to the paper.
When Stanley told me there was another book, I bought it from this site along with a few others. I find that I am, once again, moved by the quality and sincerity that comes through. Please give your heart and your head a gift and read this book. It is truly a wonderful read.
It is from this thought that I want to thank my mother (God rest her soul) for telling me that learning to read was the greatest thing I could ever do, because there are some special books out there And she was right! This book is one of 'those special book" !
