This was a nice pleasant read, somewhat forgettable though. Paige is a pharmacist struggling to find a good job after an incident at her last job that led to her termination. When she is offered a job at a brand new pharmacy she thinks her prayers are answered--and she hopes that her prayers for her mothers successful cancer treatments will be too. She needs the job to help pay for her mother's treatments, so she's prepared to put up with anything, but when she walks in the first day and is introduced to the manager of the pharmacy she realizes that the manager was never told be the owner that she was going to have a new assistant working for her. Things get off to a rocky start with Clarissa, the manager, who has her reasons for disliking Paige. As the story unfolds we get to see the point of view of both women, though Clarissa did not seem as well rounded to me as Paige. Paige's character felt pretty realistic, with her struggles about reconciling her mother's illness with a God who she felt was supposed to take care of her. I enjoyed that aspect and the regular pharmacy customer who encouraged her with Godly words of wisdom. Clarissa and the rest of the characters seemed to fall flat for me and it all seemed to just roll predictably along until the end. If you just want an easy Christian fiction book to relax with, this would be a good choice, just don't expect to remember it much later. Nov book club book. Excited as this was one of our new favorite authors from last year. I didnt like it quite as well as her other book, but did really like it. It shows how easily mistakes can be made that can change multiple peoples lives. I didnt realize till after I was done with the book that the author actually was a pharmacist, prior to being a novelist. That made this even better, knowing that she actually possessed the knowledge to do this job. I like it when authors research something that they want to write about, but it makes it even better when they KNOW what they are doing. I hope that made sense and doesnt sound bad or weird! I would recommend this book, as well as any other by this author. She really is an asset to Christian fiction.
Do You like book Waiting For Daybreak (2008)?
Good Book! Well developed, good characters. Still chick lit, but its christian fiction
