As you may or may not notice, this is actually the third book in the series we read last month for Book Club. I didn't really care for the other book, but the other girls absolutely loved it and really wanted to read another one. So we agreed to this one, because it sounded a little better than the second once. I must admit it wasn't quite as bad as the first, or maybe I just got used to it.
Amid the chaos of his own soul, Caleb finds solace in the secret letters from a widow and her young daughter. Their unabashed faith in God convicts him and increases his inner struggles, but he keeps writing anyway. Maggie, driven by a fierce desire to provide for her daughter, Rachel, steps into the world of mail-order brides. With every tick of the clock, their future becomes more uncertain. If Maggie fails to secure a future, Rachel may not survive through the next year. Can Caleb learn to trust God despite his past? Can Maggie and Rachel hold onto their faith despite all their trials? What will happen when they meet in person? (picture and description at Amazon)
So for our FHS Book Club, they decided to go ahead and pick one book to read over Thanksgiving and another to read over Christmas. I am supposed to be reading these books to expand my horizons, but I also love to read Christmas books in November and December. And neither of the books are Christmas books. I thought maybe I would read one of them, but the one I would be interested in reading is the one for November. So I guess those are out for this go around.
I have a large stack of Christmas books calling my name and I can't wait to get started on them TONIGHT!!!
Tis the season for reading!
