Stella isn’t allowed in the basement. But she’s there, hiding from the arguments above and whispering secrets to a beautiful mother in a painting. Thirty years later she still doesn’t know who the mother or her baby are, nor can she remember what she did last night.

Drawings in Sand, set in Aberdeen, Scotland is about a mother and teacher, who faces the effects her drunkenness has on her young daughter, and whose search for healing takes her deep into disturbing secrets in her family’s past.

A story of transformation and redemption that dives deep into what it means to be human.

Praise for Drawings in Sand:

“Literature at its finest.”

“A wonderful, inspiring, emotional and engaging read.”

“An exceptional novel.”

I don’t often leave book reviews, as I feel that anyone who has made the effort to write a book has done far more than I have. This book inspired me to say how much I love the way it was written and how it resonated with me. The way we live our lives in the illusion of our minds, each one of us dealing with issues that have formed us and how our ego, despite trying to protect us, is a destructive force. It was written with such intelligence and understanding and is a novel that I would highly recommend.

I came to this via the author's blog, not sure if this was my sort of read. However, slow reader though I am I finished this in three days which is exceptional for me. Stella's struggles with alcohol, family, single parenthood, teaching - you name it - pull us forward. The device of young Stella's story intertwined with the contemporary narrative works whereas often one story has greater force and you want to skip one to return to the other - not here. Some of the writing is vaguely experimental, a series of devices to pull us into Stella's wobbly mental processes but it makes her journey and our seat at her shoulder all the more fascinating. If I have a suggestion it is that some of the advice pieces from Edith and Nancy clunk a little - they come across as rather declaratory rather than as natural dialogue. And perhaps the biggish reveal - which you'll have to read to find out what I mean - wasn't needed. Others may think differently and I'm still unsure. On balance this is an author who knows what she us about so I'm happy to defer to her judgement here and look forward to her next novel.

5つ星のうち5.0 This Book Will Help You Heal From Pain

If you came from a dysfunctional family (abuse, alcoholism, etc.), or if you struggle with substance abuse, Yvonne's Spence's book will touch your deepest, most secret thoughts and fears, and help you grow past the abuse.

Stella, the main character in the book, is an alcoholic, and grew up in an alcoholic family. Spence does an outstanding job of getting into her head; no fear is too sacred to be shared. Because abuse and alcohol issues often go hand in hand, even readers who have not been around binge or habitual drinking, but have experienced family abuse, will recognize the family secrets, the elephants on the floor, and the communication breakdowns in this book.

The author's approach is similar to Toni Morrison's book, "The Beloved," in that we see Stella shift back and forth from real-time, to thoughts, to deeply guarded memories and flashbacks.

We are taken through Stella's healing process in a way that helps us recognize the abusive childhood scripts we allow to play in our heads, and frees us from demons we carry with us into adult hood. Once you get to the part where Stella visits a therapist (who you will grow to love and trust), you will not want to put it down. This book will resonate with those parts of you that need to be healed.

Five stars! Buy it, and read it!

This is an incredible book. The main character is one of the best I have had the good fortune to read about this year.

In present day Scotland, Stella Noble is a single mother. She is also an alcoholic, who drinks herself into a stupor every now and then. She is an emotional wreck who constantly puts herself down, endures a bad relationship with the verbally abusive, beer drinking and jobless Macklin, allows her `best friend' and work colleague Judy to walk all over her, makes a mess of things at work, terrifies her little daughter Kirsty when she is drunk and hates herself for every bit of it in the morning.

She knows that she needs to change, but in her own words, she `hasn't got the will power', so she convinces herself that she is useless, she drinks, and picks fights with her daughter's father Ross, the `perfect' father who is trying to `catch her out' for being a bad mother so that he can take Kirsty away forever.
In between, she remembers her own childhood, her verbally abusive mother, her drunken father, her perfect older sister and the basement of their house, where she used to hide as a little girl with a painting of a woman and a baby for company, a woman she used to wish was her mother.

As her life spirals out of control, Stella must make a decision, whether to continue her descent into alcoholism, or to take control of her life and be a better mother to her daughter. With a little help, she starts to see things a little differently as she undertakes a difficult journey of self-discovery, and starts to put her life back together.

Yvonne Spence has crafted an amazing character with Stella Noble. She is complicated and yet easy to understand. You want to judge her for the way she keeps ruining herself, the way she keeps listening to people like Judy and Macklin, the way she jumps to conclusions, the way she keeps being afraid to make her own decisions, and yet you want to help her, to make her see herself as good and lovable. Her journey towards redemption is one that would be inspiring for everyone who has ever dealt with alcoholism and low self-esteem, and engaging for anyone who just likes a good book.

The other characters are also very well fleshed out. There is Macklin, the boyfriend who we hate, Stella's mother Grace Noble, who we come to understand, her brother Sam, her lovely, lovely daughter Kirsty, Granny Noble, the drunken surgeon Philip Noble, sad Moira with two sons, whose husband has left her for another woman, Judy who deals with her own self esteem problems by always wanting to be the centre of attention, Mrs Firth, Ross and all the others.

This is a five star work. The story, the content, the characters are all five star material. However it requires a little more formatting so that it reads well on kindle (especially the part with Sam Noble's poems.), which is why I'm giving it four stars, for now.

I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone and I look forward to seeing it on the Bestseller lists one day.
