Melanie Campbell delivers a sweet, tender story of learning to trust in God’s timing and plan, despite the doubts, fears and obstacles life places in our path.
Having read One Woman Falling when it debuted, I was delighted to return to the story of Sharon and Cassie, a mother and daughter who’ve overcome great obstacles in their past such as alcoholism and an abusive marriage to settle into life together as they move forward in their growing faith.
This story has beautiful elements of love, longing and trust as things that are seemingly going right, begin to take a wrong direction and threaten everything good that Cassie and Sharon have worked towards, creating natural doubts and fears. Campbell uses real life moments and the sinful nature of others to walk her characters through the mire and ultimately cause them learn more about themselves, God and each other along the way. She expertly displays the shortcomings of humankind, even those in church leadership, demonstrating the need for the grace and mercy God extends to all of us. I found her characters and their situations, thoughts and desires to be relatable and believable.
I truly enjoyed this story and found it to be rewarding and heartwarming. It was a lovely conclusion to the Whispers of Grace series. It’s a great read for readers who enjoy wholesome books with faith-based content and real life experiences. A definite recommendation with a note that I believe the story will be best enjoyed if read after the first two books in the series (for context).
