By Frank Drury As I began reading this novel, I was immediately pulled into the story about Lucy and her best friend Harlan, not just by the moving story of Harlan's battle with cancer and Lucy's pending adoption of a 4 year old Russian orphan, but more so by the wonderful prose. I usually read the first chapter of any new Kindle fiction release. Very few grab me like this one did. Halfway through the story I sent a message to the author telling her that her work reminded me somewhat of Anne Tyler, particularly AN ACCIDENTAL TOURIST. But it also reminds me of great nineteenth century novels, when writing seemed to be more alive and beautiful, more caringly crafted. This book won a 5 star rating from Midwest Book Review. Susan Schoenberger also won the gold medal in the William Faulkner-William Wisdom Creative Writing Competition for this book. In reading A WATERSHED YEAR, I am left with much more confidence and enthusiasm than I had before about the future of Amercian Literature. I eagerly look forward to her next work.

Lucy is such a wonderful character and this story of how she finds herself is simply beautifully told.And that is one of the greatest parts of the book--it doesn't feel like just words on a page, but like someone is brilliantly telling you a story, staight from their heart. Lucy has spent most of her life thinking, not acting. Her watershed year changes all of that. She decides to act and without a lot, or sometimes enough, thought. She just plunges, so it really doesn't come as surprse that it almost ends in destruction. It could have, and probably realistically would have, but Lucy finds strength she didn't know she has and confronts everything head-on.This book could've turned into sentimental, melodramatic mush, but it didn't. Lucy is ultimately just too realistic for that to happen. Even her preoccupation with saints feels real and true. I'll admit that the happy ending is probably off the charts for realism, but I believe that Lucy's at-heart optimism and faith are what makes it fit and feel real for THIS story. Lucy is someone I would love to know and have in my corner, cheering me on in real life.To balance this out, the adoption and Lucy's being completely unprepared for it emotionally are extremely realistic. So many people go into adoption without thinking of how complicated it can be--and how love doesn't spring up automatically for the children involved. Lucy has a lot to come to terms with when the ideal of having a child becomes a reality. Though it takes her some time to get her bearings, she turns this challenge into victory, for both herself and her new son.I loved this book and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good high-drama novel. Be aware, though, that this isn't chick lit or light reading, though it isn't oppressively sad, so it might not be a great vacation read, but I do think it would make a good book club choice because there are lots of themes and issues to talk about. For me, overall, wonderful, satisfying and heartwarming read! If you have this in your TBR stack, move it up! You'll be glad you did.

By Jennifer Smith I've never been one to seek out specific details in a story line prior to my reading the book myself, so I will not reveal too much in this review. I will say that I truly enjoyed this novel. It was so well written, you will not be able to put it down once you begin reading. Susan Schoenberger has a true gift in writing and has an incredible ability to pull the reader into her world of words. We can all identify with the main character Lucy and her journey to find her true self, all the while discovering and losing loves along the way. A true gem!
