The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion, Volume 4, by Beth Brower

 Oh, my goodness, these just get better and better. Volume 4 hits high and it hits deep...Emma goes to Maxwell's burial and is ripped open by grief. The way Pierce comforts her is beautiful. The alchemy between the four main characters is discovered and deepens...Young Hawkes, Emma, Islington, and Pierce. Who doesn't want to be "one of the guys" in a very feminine and protected way? Browers portrays this emerging partnership beautifully. You really want to inhabit this world. So sweet...and yet her grief over Maxwell's loss is so poignant. Maybe this is a great example of knowing the bitter so you can learn to prize the sweet???

That would be an appropriate message as I am studying Moses right now, and the contrast between bitter and sweet and between learning to prize the good comes up a LOT. 

I'm on the waiting list for the next two volumes...I've also put holds on the audio. I think I would enjoy listening to some of these volumes again and again...
