When the Jonquils Bloom Again, 4 Vol. Set — J.G. Knox

WHEN THE JONQUILS BLOOM AGAIN FOUR VOLUME SET When the Jonquils Bloom Again, the Saga, why read a 1132 page book? Why absorb hours, maybe days or weeks immersed in the life of Sharon, a mixed race baby growing up during the depression and World War II? Why be interested in an innocent young woman's search for happiness, God, the love of her life, life? First because it's interesting, written with humor and characters, ordinary people you'll come to love. But, if you're seeking just entertainment, there are better edited books. If you're seeking something else, if you're seeking to enter the life of another to learn, to be them, to experience life, to make yourself better, more aware through these hours living in another's world, When the Jonquils Bloom Again is for you. Set in 1931 through 1949, as relevant today as then, it's a love story, or series of love stories all intermingled with the life of Sharon, a time when health care was controlled by doctors and nurses whose first concern was what was good for their patients, not corporate based health care where the first concern is profit. Sharon has Irritable Bowel Syndrome, enemas, and Chiropractic care. Set in a time when corporal punishment was common, and crime was rare, it's growing up, life, love, and the pursuit of happiness through WWII, and heroes coming home. Sharon in high school, puberty, her first beau, her first taste of God's love, seeking, learning, being, preparing for Mr. Right, will he ever appear? Other stories, Momma and Daddy's, Aunt Mindy and Uncle Jim's, and Amber and Albert's stories play out in a synchrony of hope, faith, and love. Enjoy, enlighten, read until last light, and wake up dreaming of Sharon and her days in the sun, a time hard, a time rife with racism, a time splendid with love, life as it was and ever will be two blocks off Main Street in a town like ten thousand other American towns
