It’s a lot more harrowing and deep than I anticipated. Guys just go play golf and barely talk on the course when we have the weekend off. But this book underscores how women can fit a life-time into a single weekend! It was a great glimpse into why women have such strong bonds with one another. Somebody once said that the only people who know you are those who knew you before 8th grade. This pretty much proves the adage to be true. It’s refreshing in this time of strife and polarization to read about three people who could understand and respect their different spiritual journeys and learn from each other. I handed this to my wife to read and she’s passed it on to her four best friends from childhood to read. Oh, no! I think they’re planning another girls’ weekend. This time on a river. What did I start?! Husbands, read it..it’s a peep into our wives’ separate world. – Verified Amazon purchase<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Having been born and raised in the small town of Hayward, Wisconsin, where Kristine Ochu\u2019s novel is set, I was looking forward to reading it. I had no idea I\u2019d laugh so much! Ms. Ochu has a unique way of describing what three childhood friends encountered during a canoe trip down the Namekagon River. Swarming mosquitoes, poison ivy, an angry beaver, diarrhea, rough Rapids, a runaway canoe, lost food and supplies, a near drowning, a fever, a deadly world pool, broken bones, getting lost in the forest, a wolf and counter\u2026 It will make for one exciting, hilarious adventure! – Connie Carlson, Retired Teacher and active church volunteer.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Campfire Confessions is a great story of friendship and forgiveness. It will make you laugh out loud as well as bring heartfelt tears to your eyes. Annie, Jo and Sondra are all amazing women with that once in a lifetime bond of friendship that we all search for. Great Book! – Kelly K. Pilates Instructor<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kristine Ochu packs an adventurous punch in her compelling story of the bonds between three females. The relatable characters journey to discover the boundaries and bridges of their meaningful friendships. An exciting read! – Robin P. Teacher, Artist, Playwright, Author<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once I started Campfire Confessions, I couldn\u2019t put it down. I just had to keep reading. I loved the main characters and their adventurous spirits. I also loved that this was a novel that wasn\u2019t overly esoteric but still took spiritual matters seriously. I highly recommend reading it – it\u2019s a great way to escape a little while still bringing up some deep questions. – Caroline Z.
