Bitter, Sweet, and so much more...

'Orange Mint and Honey' by Carleen Brice delivers an emotionally explosive story with universal appeal. The mother/daughter relationship, the struggles of addiction, and the challenges of making choices in life are interwoven themes that draw the reader into the story of Shay Dixon and her recovering alcoholic mother Nona. A must read for anyone who has had to struggle with personal regrets or forgiveness of others for the very human blunders we make in life. The talented Brice takes her readers on a journey of the unexpected in this touching and realistic story of discovery.

outstanding reading

Glade it was made into a movie. Books are always better. Thought provoking and exceptional. Definite recommended reading.

Fantastic Read

This book was incredibly engaging and very well written. It was an easy read, but didn't feel simplistic. The characters were well developed and fully relatable. Nothing seemed over the top which is a commendable effort with a story full of drama and emotion.

We read this for my book club and all the ladies felt this book was a great read and would highly recommend it.

A must read

I brought this book after reading the reviews that Jill Scott was starring in a movie based on this book. I wasn't sure what I was buying but from day one when I downloaded the book on my Iphone I couldn't put my phone down. The plot and message was clear. I love it! I also watched the movie, "Sins of the mother." on Lifetime and it was exactly like the book. Never had I read a book and watch a movie and it was so much a lot. I would recommend this book to everyone who loves to read or have issues forgiving their parent.

Great Passionate and Uplifting Story!

This was a great book to read. The commercial for the Lifetime Movie Sins of the Mother prompted me to read the book first and I'm glad I did. Now I can't wait to see the movie. This is a great story of how a woman can turn her life around for the better and a daughter who can bring herself to forgive in order to free herself from heartache and pain and live a fulfilling life. Loved It!
