Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Being a caregiver is a large responsibility that is both physically and mentally challenging.  A caregiver must give her time and energy to the one needing his/her care, but also has emotional ties to a patient, especially if it is a close friend or relative.  Meeting By Chance is one such story that will prove emotionally challenging for the caregiver Danielle, her Aunt May, whom she takes care of and the reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done Jackie!
Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2014

As an author, speaker, mentor and coach whose target market is women in small business, I'm keen to discover talented women authors. It's an added bonus to find one who is also an artist. Jackie Coote lives up to both. Her short story is warm, inviting and an easy (and quick) read. While I would like to see more character development (but that's just me); it has enough to hold interest to the end. And what a wonderful "twist" to the story. I particularly love that! Great job Jackie. I recommend this for any woman looking for something to encourage, inspire and warm her heart. This will do it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A pleasant, thoughtful and uplifting read
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2014
Meeting by Chance by Jacqueline Coote is truly a heart-warming and encouraging book for those who grew up during the period of time this book takes place. In addition, young woman of today who are looking to escape from the negative attitudes in today's society can also enjoy Meeting by Chance.
The audio book read by Denise Krueger transports the reader into the story so well you feel the cold of a New England winter and the warmth of a cozy home with fresh flowers Aunt May always has around the House. Also, you recognize the warm relationship between aging Aunt May and her niece Danielle. How both these women's lives are intertwined and continue to the end are felt by the reader. The audio book definitely brings to life Meeting by Chance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Maureen's review
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2014
Although I found the beginning a little disjointed, it wasn't long before I was enjoying the story. Danielle's Auntie May certainly has a few secrets - and in the end, Danielle's life is changed for the better. This is a quick and easy read, but amongst the secrets and sadness, positive messages shine through.
