Emily's Quest



I thought the main theme in the book would be about the journey of twin girls - how they lost each other and were able to reuinte later in life. I am a twin so this was of interest to me. However, this book was about so much more. Ms. Seaman took the reader on a trip through the ups and downs and everyday happenings of her life in the early 20th Century.

"Emily's Quest" is a time capsule of historic events as well as hopes and dreams of the future. Life lived to the fullest despite the hardships and challenges she went through.

The characters who populate the book bring the story to life. The pace moves along at a good speed that keeps you turning the page. Descriptions that take you back to the time she's writing about are handled beautifully. Not too much to slow down the story.

Congratulations to Cora Alyce Seaman for a great book full of hope and promise. I thoroughly enjoyed the read and would recommend this book.
