Will Love For Crumbs by Jonna IvinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Will Love For Crumbs, by Jonna Ivin is an interesting memoir of a woman whose life was anything but easy. Raised by an alcoholic mother (her father disappeared when she was young), Ivin and a boyfriend get a house so that they can care for her now aging mother. However, when her mother dies, Ivin and her boyfriend split up.
Ivin becomes a volunteer with the Red Cross, helping to clean up an area hit by a hurricane. It is while doing this that she meets Chris, a charming man with more stories than substance. Ivin and Chris soon become involved. At first, she feels that he is the love of her life; it soon becomes apparent that he is the man she should have run from.
Compelling and, at times, almost frightening, the reader roots for Ivin, hoping she will become strong enough to leave. Does she? Read and find out...
The only real down side to this book is that it ends too abruptly. If one is looking for a happily-ever-after book, the ending might disappoint, in that we don't know whether she ever finds Mr. Right. But then, this is real life.
