Pre-Owned Love and the Silver Lining (Paperback) 0764235915 9780764235917

Love and the Silver Lining alternates between laughter and tears, between happiness and heartache, but isn't this true in all of our lives? Author Tammy L. Gray knows how to plumb all of the human emotions, and she has written a beautiful story of hope, faith, and learning to let go. She also shares a perfect reminder that not getting what we ask for may be the biggest blessing of all! I highly recommend Love and the Silver Lining to all who enjoy contemporary Christian romance. I received a copy of this book from the publisher. There was no obligation for a positive review. These are my own thoughts.

I found myself reading every free moment I found so I could find out the end result. You will find yourself emerged in a story of hurting real characters that sometimes make poor choices based on feelings but yet God is in the midst of the messiness of life still working, still waiting, always a prayer away. This book is a little edgier than what I usually expect in Christian fiction but still clean and well worth reading. Darcy at times seems self absorbed but when hurting it is hard to see the work God is actually doing to mold and shape us into what He wants us to be. Sometimes we need to thank God for unanswered prayers. Bryson was my favorite character who hid behind a persona so his vulnerability wasn't readily seen. I loved how he grew and his relationship with Charlie was my undoing into admiring his strength of character. I recommend reading Love and A Little White Lie first as you won't want to miss the background of the returning characters. I look forward to reading more and anxiously await book three. A must read if you enjoy a book with depth. I received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher. The honest review and opinions are my own and were not required.
