I just loved the sound of this book, and it comes highly recommended (by Janet Evanovich among others!) so ordered it from Amazon for $6.09. Hope to get around to reading it soon! I did read it and loved it. It is quite similar in theme to a memoir I read some time ago, Does This Church Make Me Look Fat? - about a girl raised in a Christian home, who is Christian and yet resists a lot of the cultural and family baggage that goes with that; her husband divorces her because she can't have children - and he's already found a replacement. She returns home where there are a lot of unresolved issues and new problems between her parents (financial), her sister (having to have a baby and put it up for adoption), and her brother (gay). There's a new guy, a really good guy, too-good-to-be-true guy, who has a major secret. I found a great deal in this book rang true to life and my own observations and experiences, so that might be one reason I liked it so much. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"Growing up, Ellen Carlisle was a Christian: She went to Jesus camp, downed stale Nilla Wafers at Sunday school, and never, ever played with Ouija boards. Now, years later, when infertility prevents her from giving her ambitious attorney husband a family, she finds herself on the brink of divorce, unemployed, and living with her right-wing, born-again Christian parents in her suburban New Jersey hometown. There the schools are private, the past is public, and blessings come in lump sums. Then Ellen meets a man to whom she believes she can open her heart, and she begins to think that maybe it's true that everything happens for a reason--until all that was going well starts going very badly and Ellen is finally forced to dig deep to find her own brand of faith"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
