Explanation/Summary:
From the back cover:
Sarah Graham is living life hard and fast — and she is flat broke. When her estranged father dies, she travels to the tiny mountain hamlet of Jonah, New York, to claim her inheritance. Once there, however, she learns that her plans for the future – and her memories of the past – are about to change forever.
Analysis and Evaluation:
Yes, the author’s debut novel was quite good. She told an interesting story with twists and turns that kept my attention.
I thought the writing was very good. The author utilizes both first and third person narration, but she did a good job of switching between the two.
The strength is that it’s really a good story. Of course, being in the Christian fiction realm, it offers Hope to those who are seeking, and encouragement to those who have been found. I liked that it shared the Gospel.
The weakness is (again my personal issue) that I don’t like first person stories. Although this one was written better than most others I’ve read in recent years…
My response is that I liked it. I liked that it does not have a romance story, it has a love story. I liked that it’s a book I can share with other Christian women, in fact, I’ll be passing it along to a friend from church on Sunday. I liked that it was a very fast read. I finished it in just over a day.
