living simple, straighforward yet spiritual lives in the Southwest. Not unlike "Shiloh", her latest work, Woodruff succeeds with her invitation for you to visit and learn from her story. And a great story "Neighbors" is... Intelligent, entertaining... I like Woodruff's work because it is extremely true to the Southwest - and the people who could possibly be your "Neighbors".

Book Description
Two teenage girls, sisters a year apart, are in a terrible auto accident near where they live, a few miles from the Civil War battlefield at Shiloh. The older is killed outright. The younger is badly brain-damaged. In a coma, she meets people who are oddly dressed and who speak English but not the English she speaks. Eventually she comes out of the coma but continues to see and talk with these people who are soon identified as doctors, nurses and soldiers - Northern and Southern - on their way to Shiloh to fight a great Civil War battle. The girl is befriending people of the last century who are soon to die. As fascinating as these occurrences are, they are associated with the girl's refusal to accept the death of her sister. Indeed, her doctors expect the girl to die. But she fools everybody and, by witnessing the deaths of her Civil War friends, she is able to come to terms with the death of her sister.
Based on a true story, this fine novel - appropriate for both adults and young adults ages 12 and up - presents death, loss and grief engrossingly and even hopefully.
Customer Reviews:
Civil War Comes Alive.......2003-10-18 This story is pretty loud and alive. I recommend it a lot.
Wrenching........2003-02-12 I read the author's newest, Ghost in the Rainbow, first. It deals with addictions, internal strife, and external failure very well; you begin to feel this woman's suffering. Should be a requirement in any substance abuse program. I was compelled to then read Neighbors. Funny, endearing, and such upbeat characters. Finally I read Shiloh Renewal. I almost didn't because I thought it was a young adult book. Believe me, this is a very mature story. If you ever loved someone and lost them, you've got to read this book. Absolutely wrenching.
Joan Leslie Woodruff's writing is as good as it gets........1999-02-12 Joan Leslie Woodruff deserves to be read. "The Shiloh Renewal" is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Apparently someone decided that because the protagonist is a teenaged girl, the book must mostly appeal to younger readers. However, this 50+ adult man enjoyed it very much. The story looks at the boundaries between life and death, magic and realism, the past and the present. The focus is on healing, but it's not an easy process. A bonus in this particular modern story is that the reader also learns something about the civil war. As the main character recovers from a brain injury, we gain sensitivity about the plight of such people. Give it a try.
Great writing, fascinating characters, gripping story.......1999-02-05 The Shiloh Renewal is a powerful and extraordinary story dealing with sorrow and courage and told with wry humor. Ms. Woodruff writes about Sandy's fascinating journey into the past where she searches for acceptance regarding the untimely death of her sister. This author has once again written a story that not only entertains, but moves the reader's spirit.
An unusual book. Fun to read and surprising........1999-02-03 "Shiloh Renewal" came as a surprise to me after reading Ms Woodruff's first fiction book " Neighbors". Her style, certainly on the leading edge of popular literature, tranports us into the deep south and catapults us into a desire to empathize with the period and the characters. We find ourselves crossing over time lines as we are taken into the reality of a young accident victim. The book is abrupt in its closure, but exceedingly memorable in its content and the author probably intended that the reader would be left somehow wanting more.
