I was attracted to this book by the title. My mind went immediately to a prayer box necklace I have. My daughter gave it to me, when going through a rough season of my life, many moons ago. I'd write out prayers for others and dropped into the box. After the prayer was answered I'd remove th...

The story goes back and forth between the views of two different people, Sandra Kaye Darden a Mother of two and the wife of a Dr., who has lost her purpose in life and a young girl Cass, who along with her brother are...

I loved this book and never lost interest in it. It is the story of a poor, bi-racial 16 year old girl, Epiphany (Epie) who lives in a rough, lower class neighborhood. Her mother is a white woman, who is absent from her daughter's life most of the time, working odd jobs and running with different...

This was picked as a selection for a group of women with whom I enjoy sharing! I very much enjoyed this book about a group of women from very different backgrounds/circumstances who find themselves in relationship with each other. The book addresses up-to-date issues of economic difficulties, ho...
I couldn't put this fascinating book down! From the first page I was mesmerized with the two story lines Lisa Wingate intertwines throughout this read. The world of book publishing comes alive as Jen Gibbs moves into the job of her dreams. A partial book submission is anonymously dropped on her d...
This novel started out a little slow for me but quickly became very entertaining. Basically the novel is about the families in Poety, a little town in Missouri that gets hit by a huge tornado and is pretty much wiped out along with many of the neighboring towns. The protagonist in the novel is 2...
I have liked Lisa Wingate for a while and have really wanted to read another book by her. This is now, I think, my 4th. And I have a couple others downloaded on my nook which I am excited about. One thing about her books - there is a lot of substance to them! They are not light fluffy, easy readi...
