I'll admit I haven't read a lot of Christian fiction and it's mainly because I just have not found many Christian fiction authors that I thought wrote well enough to hold my attention and not seem like they were taking basically a secular story line and trying to throw in some Christian morals at the end. This summer I decided to try out some authors I have not read before and one of them is Karen Kingsbury. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It was so good that I found myself struggling to stay awake at night just so I could read a little more. There are sections of the book that would definitely qualify as true page-turners. I really liked how there was definitely a moral theme but it was infused into the story in a very real way, not just as an afterthought. You can tell that Kingsbury really plans and thinks about her characters and story before she just starts writing.
The book description says, "A young woman seeking answers to her heart's deep questions. A man and woman separated by lies and long years...yet who have never forgotten each other. With hallmark tenderness and power, Karen Kingsbury weaves a tapestry of lives, losses, love and faith-and the miracle of resurrection."
You will definitely enjoy this book. And the cool thing is I would like to give away my copy of this book! The first person to leave a comment and tell me they want it, gets it!
Don't give it back to me, I already read it! I told you it was a good book though!!!~~Lori S
