Kurzbeschreibung

Welcome back to Bright’s Pond. Now that her morbidly obese sister, Agnes Sparrow, is
comfortably dieting at the Greenbrier Nursing home, Griselda has time to fly—literally. A pilot
makes an emergency landing on Hector’s Hill and creates quite a ruckus in the otherwise sleepy
town of Bright’s Pond. Griselda becomes enamored with Cliff Cardwell and his airplane, a 1952
Cesna Beachpiper and takes him up on his offer of flying lessons. This after Zeb Sewickey has
proposed marriage. Griselda has not given him her answer.
    

Meanwhile, Stella Hughes Kincaid receives word that her estranged brother, Walter, is in a coma
at Greenbrier. Griselda and Agnes convince Stella to see him. On her first visit she meets Gilda
Saucer who claims to be Walter’s fiancée. Stella smells a rat and upon further investigation
discovers that Walter had recently become a millionaire thanks to the PA state lottery. Stella,
Griselda, and pretty much everyone in town jump to the conclusion that Gilda is a gold
digger. 

Stella and Griselda confront the woman who vehemently denies
the accusation and pledges her sincere love for Walter. She is still suspicious, but Stella
backs off. When Bright’s Pond Chief of Police, Mildred Blessing, digs up the news that Stella is
married to a two-bit con man, Cliff Cardwell (the pilot) from Binghamton, NY, Gilda and the cute
but lying flight instructor are chased from Greenbrier by several cane-wielding Greenbrier
residents and Agnes. They are arrested on bunko charges. 
    
Miracles
still happen occasionally in Bright’s Pond; Walter awakens from his coma. He and Stella are
reunited, Griselda gives Zeb her answer—no—and is last seen flying loop-de-loops over Hector’s
Hill.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Griselda Takes Off! 28. Mai 2011
Von Daryl L. Halter - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Griselda Takes Flight kind of begins where The Prayers of Agnes Sparrow leaves off. In this book, we not only get to know Griselda better, but we get to fly along with her as she discovers who she is and what she wants. Joyce Magnin not only gives us the Bright's Pond characters we've come to know and love, she also brings us intimately into how God brings people and circumstances into our lives in order to give us the opportunity to know ourselves better and to know Him better. The people are real. The town is a place you wish you lived in. The crazy things that happen between them all will make you smile. Pam Halter

3.0 von 5 Sternen Enjoyable, Light and Easy Read 16. November 2011

I enjoyed reading this book. I generally read suspense novels and this was my first time to read "Christian Fiction". The best part of this book for me is that it was clean reading, nothing I would normally skip over, i.e. profanity, sex, etc. While I didn't feel like "I can't put this book down", I did get a feeling of friendship with some of the characters. I was fortunate to get this book from Amazon for free, and I will look for this author again.

4.0 von 5 Sternen Gentle Mystery 6. Mai 2011
Von Bob - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
Although this was categorised as a "Christian Novel" I am not sure I agree with this in the sense that it did not preach or indeed the church was not the centre of the story in fact the dinner featured more than the church. That said it is set in a small town near the city of Wilkes-Barre in North-eastern Pennsylvania which would surprise me if there were not some church connections. This book also seems to be targeted at reading groups as there are a number of questions to provoke thought. As usual I ignored all that and just read the book as an entertainment and found it a good read. Nothing much happened very quickly but I liked the way the characters and the locations were developed and the plot slowly rolled out. It takes a long time happening but the plot, and there are some sub plots revolves around Walter who is in a coma and the woman who wants to marry him and believes he has the secret to a long lost treasure.
