Icon book review: Sanctuary by V.V. James

This book is a perfect example of tension building within a desperate plot
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, November 5, 2020

Review by Robert McCool
 In Sanctuary the tension builds toward the breaking point.

In V. V. James's (The Gilded Cage) latest offering, Sanctuary (Sourcebooks LCCN  2020005118) magic is a well established and regulated trade and Sarah is the head of a coven of three other non-witch women, Abigail, Bridget, and Julia. Her shop specializes in charms and wards, potions and sympathy. She and her daughter Harper then stand accused in the questionable death of Abigail's son, the local golden boy and her life's sole focus, Dan. Things devolve slowly and somewhat predictably from there.

Patricia Dalrymple funeral service on Saturday

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, November 4, 2020

Patricia Ann Dalrymple, 84, born Patricia Ann LaRue, died on Nov. 3, 2020.

Patricia was born and raised in Ada to the late Roscoe and Elsie (Clossen) LaRue. She went by Pat mostly, and never by Patty. She was raised on a farm with her 7 siblings with lots of love and lots of hard work which fueled her creativity and her adaptability.

Pat met her husband-to-be Donald Dalrymple, as they cruised the circuit in Lima, Ohio. Don often told the story of their meeting with a smile. He always remembered the color of her sweater, the car she drove, and the Saturday night dance. After this auspicious meeting, their love continued to grow together for many years to come.
