Blog Tour And Giveaway - Miss Scarlet's School of Patternless Sewing by Kathy Cano-Murillo

My apologies to Kathy and her staff. Time has gotten away from me this month and I just now realized that today is my day to post a review and giveaway of Kathy's newest novel!

I'm sure most of you are familiar with Kathy Cano-Murillo, also know as the Crafty Chica, who is a super, super nice and very creative lady. She's always busy creating and inspiring all of us, and yet always has time to give a kind word. As an author her unique personality shows through in the lives of her characters. I just read this new novel and I can't wait to share it with you all!!

Miss Scarlet's School of Patternless Sewing is a really wonderful story. I am not a fast reader and I read most of it in one day, because I was so engrossed in the story.

Scarlet is an inviting, interesting, unique young lady. She attracts people along the way that are connected to her and each other in so many ways that the story becomes more complex than is first apparent. There is a juicy mystery that begins near the beginning of the story and lasts to the very end. With each turn, the reader thinks she has figured out what happened to Daisy, and who she really was, only to have that theory squashed with a new turn of events.

Kathy has woven her amazing creative ideas, her love of Latino culture and her wonderful ability to write, into one fantastic story. Like her previous novel, Waking Up in the Land of Glitter, this book is about an unlikely group of women who can't help but learn to love and support each other. In both books, I truly enjoyed watching the bonds develop as the group of women shared joys, sorrows, adventures and love.

I highly recommend this book to everyone. But, those of you who are interested in creative pursuits of any kind will especially appreciate the beautiful creative things that Kathy has woven into this truly touching novel.
