TO BEGIN AGAIN by Christine Pauls is a wonderful tale that feels so much like a real life story. The characters are believable and the series of events is amazing. Never a dull moment. My emotions were all over the place and I laughed, cried and even felt fear at times. Ms Pauls has written a story of strength, loyalty, survival and strong faith.The close-knit family came together with each and every crisis and were able to help one another with their love and commitment. I enjoyed the closeness of the family members and the willingness to be there for each other.
The plot was tight, leaving no dead spots throughout the book. No loose ends that left me hanging and a sound definitive ending. Ms Pauls knows what she's doing! She's a natural story-teller! Although there were a few minor editing issues, nothing was taken away from this entertaining read and everyone that enjoys a good, exciting story of family and friends should pick up a copy.
Bravo Christine Pauls! I enjoyed every minute of your amazing story. I look forward to reading your next masterpiece. Good job!

To Begin Again edition by Christine Pauls Shonell Bacon Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Just finished reading this book, and I will say this book really captivated me. It took me back to old times when I was a kid and how the elders lived life and raised their children and had them in chruch all the time. Celeste went through much in life but it all fashioned her into the woman had become, she never forgot the values her Aunt Ruby taught her, and her and her family was close. Maybe all that happened to her will bring her to forgive Jordan and they will become the family that her daughters so need to have, both mother and their father. Joy is the bestfriend that we all long to have in our lives as people. I absolutely loved this read and wihtout question will purchase ever book that this author creates, wondeeful job...
This book was a sweet surprise; it took me back to spending my summers in Virginia, sitting on my Grandma's screened-in porch, drinking lemonade and reading on her bench swing. I absolutely got lost in the book while I was reading, and was completely absorbed. I fell in love with the characters, especially Celeste, and could relate to her.
The book is easy to follow, well written, and the characters totally believeable. Author Pauls lets the characters tell their story, without them overpowering the book. It had the right blend of sweet, tension, and gave me that "ahhhhh" feeling when I finished reading it. It made me feel like I had spent time with a good friend, having a great conversation.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a great book, and an enjoyable read. I take my hat off to Christine Pauls, for a job well done!
This my first read by the author and it will not be my last. I really enjoyed this story of a teenaged mother and her struggles with motherhood, life decisions and finding love. Celeste and Jordan are childhood sweethearts make an adult decision that has some real adult consequences, but it is Celeste who has to make the most sacrifices as is usually the case with teen mothers. Jordan's parents especially his mother also enable Jordan to eventually forego his responsibilities. Celeste has a wonderful and supportive family despite the mistakes she's made. My only complaint is that although we find out what happens with the other characters we don't really find out what happens with Jordan so I assume Jordan and Celeste finally got their stuff together and got together as a family.
To Begin Again is a wonderful story of love, family, and heartache. In the character of Celeste Stanton, Pauls has created a perfect mix of innocence and naivety.
Celeste, reared by Aunt Ruby, is like any other teen girl struggling under the heavy-handed weight of a religious upbringing. Of course she likes music. Of course she likes boys. Of course she wants to experience what it means to be in love. Without sharing personal experiences and guiding Celeste with do-as-I-say guidance, Aunt Ruby tightens the vice grip on Celeste so strong that her niece eventually runs to the very trouble she's been warned against. Pauls takes us through Celeste's heartaches, ups and downs, and eventually, a measure of triumph.
The characters were familiar and enjoyable. I would recommend this book to friends.
Sometimes our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Like Carrie on Sex in the City said; if we never veered off course, we wouldn't be who we are or something like that. What I’m trying to say is that mistakes are just a mis-take an opportunity to do it over with God’s grace.
We cannot have beginnings without endings; how exciting to begin again. Pauls story which reads very much like a memoir and a coming of age story could very well be my story or yours. Celeste Stanton’s journey is one filled with ups, downs and many twist. Just when you think you know what Celeste, Jordan or Aunt Ruby will do next you might want to think again.
Celeste journey from her teen’s years to adulthood will break the readers’ heart, but also have you wanting to hit her in the head to the white meat. I loved this story and I especially enjoyed the theme of second chances from our Sovereign God.
It’s nearly a perfect story, and unimaginable that it was the only published work by Pauls, an outstanding debut.
