Title: A Rare Gem
Product review: Very well written. Rarely do I find a novel that seems so real. The characters, dialogue, even her descriptions of the sounds, aromas, and atmosphere allow us to almost live the story.And yet, the romantic tale filled me with the characters' hopes and disappointments and held me through to the end.Pamela Hayes' style is fresh and unique, and often hilariously funny.Constance comes from a poor family who hates her, and she wishes for a far better life. She almost has it, yet she tells "the lie" that threatens to undo it all. With friends, such as the lively Sharon, she learns self-confidence, which was much needed in her neglected life.Ms. Hayes portrayal of Sharon, a transsexual, is also welcome-we see her as a real human who successfully deals with the discrimination that transsexuals often endure, and becomes the successful woman that she deserves. Indeed, a theme in this book seems to be self-esteem."The Lie" is my favorite Romance novel. I look forward to her next book.
