Sandspurs was recommended to me by a friend. Too many books these days are so full of violence that I don't read much anymore. Sandspurs was a refreshing change about realistic people with a realistic plot. I really liked it!

A fantastic second book by Anne Marie Jasper.
The brutal treatment of Melinda Parker by her brand new husband throws the reader quickly into the world of an abusive relationship. The emotions, actions and reactions of the couple and the people who know and care about them are realistic and enlightening, adding to the suspense of the novels ending.

I just finished reading SANDSPURS by Anne Marie Jasper. The characters in this book are so real you can almost reach out and shake hands with them. Everyone from the villian to the fiesty lady who knew what to do in a traumatic situation were perfectly scripted by this very talented author. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to everyone from age 16 to 116.I am going to buy it for everyone on my Xmas list.

I bought this book because my sister wrote it. I didn't intend to read it. i thought it would be mushy gushy nonsense girl stuff. I started to brouse thru it and found I could not put it down. Very, very good story,- very well written. Now I'll read her first book William Dancey's Grave. I've heard it's great too. I should have listened! Ed
