Genre : Fiction
We can’t live without family
Jolie Maxwell left Montana at 17
years old to California for college. After 16 years later, she came home
because her family was in trouble. As a doctor, she decided to make a clinic in
the Paradise Corners town, because they haven’t had a local doctor in years.
However, some of the townsfolk were not happy with the presence of other
Maxwell. Robert Maxwell, Jolie’s dad was hated by the people because his
arrogant and stubborn. And, Bobby, his youngest brother who made Megan Wheeler
pregnant, did not responsible whit what he had done.
Hostility from townsfolk and real threat of danger could be passed by
Jolie because she had a new neighbor, Matt Dawson and his 2 children, Charlie
and Lily. And finally, they like each other and get married.
The worst character in this novel is Abe Wheeler, Megan’s father. He is
the real antagonist character. Because his daughter was pregnant by Bobby, and
his ranch was owned by Robert Maxwell, he very hated Maxwell family. And that’s
why he spreads the bad rumor about Jolie in the town, and threats her with the
destructions. In the end of story, he even tried to make pregnant Jolie to
revenge what Maxwell had done to Megan. I just hate this bad character.
The worst event in this novel is, when someone who in the end of story
he was Abe Wheeler, breaks the clinic’s window whit a rock which bound to a
doll with a red paint like a blood, and texted “DEAD”. It is very threatening
action to make someone leave the town. And I think this is not good for the
kids to read.
The best expression of this novel is, “Somethings were worth
remembering, some were bets forgotten” (Roxanne Rustand, p.30). This quote is
really inspiring, and it can we use in our life. For example, we must forget
every good action that we did to others, and we must remember the kind of
people to us.
