Ours for a Season

You might want to have the tissues handy as you read this book, what a journey the author has given us. There are several subjects that are touched on and they are brought to the forefront by the author, and we are able to put faces on all of these. We walk in Marty's shoes as she goes through life without the foremost desire of her heart, a baby, and yet you will see that God has bigger plans for her, and yes, it is hard to accept and move on. Brook, I felt God put these people in her life, and we soon find out why, and she and Elliot are here for a reason, and oh how blessed we are to get to know them. Come and enjoy Marty and Anthony's story and find how touched you are going to be, and when the last page is turned, I still wanted more! I received this book through the Publisher Waterbrook Press, and was not required to give a positive review.

It should be no surprise to any of Kim Vogel Sawyer's many fans that she has written another meaningful story. This book has some difficult themes: infertility; cancer; depression; and sex trafficking of teenage girls. But Kim Vogel Sawyer is an amazing writer, and she's able to bring all of these things together to create an inspiring story filled with faith and hope. The characters of Marty, Anthony, and Brooke are complex. Each of their stories are absorbing, especially in how they relate to each other. All three care deeply about each other. Marty and Anthony have grown apart in their marriage because of a tragedy and are struggling to hold on to their faith to find hope again. Marty and Brooke are life-long friends. Marty takes care of Brooke in the aftermath of her cancer treatments, and knows she needs to renew her own faith to be able to offer to Brooke the hope in Christ she so desperately needs. There are some difficult moments during this story, but there's joy to be found as God works in their lives in unexpected ways. I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.
