And now, my review:
This book interested me because the premise was about 7 women struggling to bloom where God has planted them and I was looking forward to the encouragement I would receive about that in my own life and those God has placed around me as I read about these American women. One of the stories brings out the reflection from one of the ladies as she looks out over a vast expanse and reflects on what in her life needs to change and what needs to stay. Another is breathing a silent prayer for favor. Another moment in the book is the truth of salvation. That Jesus keeps on saving over and over, every minute. This is just a few of the inspiring treats in this one. There were funny moments as well and of course, there was romance in the bringing together of lives before God.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
