I finished it this morning. Anne weaves so many stories into this book, that it kept my attention and whetted my appetite for more. Her descriptions of the Basque communities enriched my knowledge of those people. This book has it all: history, rich family history, thwarted romance, a questionable death and much more. I particularly enjoyed the details about the restoration of the historic carousel. I would recommend this book to anyone who might enjoy good read.Pat PotterHouston, TX

Brandau Sun, 16 Dec 2012 13:39:39 +0000 http://joys.net/321/joy-4/#comment-290 Joy was a Joy to Read Joy is a captivating story of Mirai San Julian, an adopted child of a single mother and later raised by her aunt. Mirai wants to learn about her past, but doing so may hurt her relationships with those she loves.Joy was a joy to read! It is a beautifully written rich descriptive story of love and life. It was interesting to read the history of the carousels and their restoration. Aunt Joy’s lifelong ministry to help those who need guidance and supervision was touching. Although Mirai is a bit of a free spirit, as the story advances you begin to see the impression Joy’s life-work had on Mirai.All of the characters are well developed and people that I could cared about. The story flows well and every time I had to put it down, I couldn’t wait to get back to the story. I highly recommend this book.
