Editorial Reviews

“When I had to put Feisty Family Values down to go to work or to sleep I couldn’t wait to get back to it! If a book can make you laugh and cry (and I did), that is an awesome book. Thank you!”

Virginia Ast

I highly recommend Feisty Family Values. This is a very compelling and relatable tale that I had trouble putting down. Everyone knows people like Regina, Tillie and Annabelle. B.D. Tharp’s book deals with cancer, parental abuse, child abuse, love in your 60’s and more. Not only did she touch on some very real issues in her book but she wrote a very entertaining one. Feisty Family Values keeps you turning the pages!

Romance Reviews Today: “FEISTY FAMILY VALUES will have readers laughing as B. D. Tharp’s tale plays out. The characters could be your neighbors. Regina and Cousin Annabelle have a rocky relationship, but they still stick together as family. The story covers critical topics that haunt us all: breast cancer, alcohol, child and elder abuse, and romance. I wonder if Regina’s mother is turning over in her grave. Enjoy, ladies.

Deborah Jackson

Although obviously a soap opera with too many critical topics being explored like breast cancer, abused elders and children, abandonment, drug usage and sexagenarian romances, fans will still appreciate Feisty Family Values as each of the ensemble cast comes across as genuine. The story line is obviously character driven with the audience pondering whether regal Regina will kick everyone to the curb as encouraged by her mom’s spirit.

Fantastic first novel by breakout author B.D. Tharp! This book deftly tackles difficult subjects while drawing you into the characters world. There is never a dull moment with this family, and I love how the family finds a way to grow in such a realistic, yet unexpected manner. I want to know the rest of the story! Please tell me there will be a sequel!
