SOMETIMES THE LOVE WE'VE ALWAYS WANTED IS THE ONE WE'VE ALWAYS HAD.
Singer Ginny Marshall is one signature away from a major recording contract-a dream come true for a girl still struggling to bury the memories of the past. Wanting to talk to someone with her best interests in mind, she looks up her former fiance, Brett Miller, in Glacier Bay, Alaska. There, the stunning scenery provides a respite from LA's pressures, and Ginny finds community among the charming residents. She also discovers a box of old letters and is swept up in the tale of Clay, an early missionary to Alaska, and Ellie, the woman who traveled there to be his children's governess. As their story unfolds, Ginny just might discover that healing and love are sometimes found in the most unexpected places.
My Review:
Not only is this an inspirational story, through their actual research of this real life place (Glacier Bay, Alaska), you can visually see yourself there.
With the historical along with contemporary stories, it gives the book a nice diversity that complements each other. It is two love stories from two different periods in time. 1920's and current day. The authors took their own sections to write and brought them together in such a way that kept you guessing. Goyer wrote Ginny's story and Fleiss wrote Ellie's. With two different styles of writing, the story was told in each unique way that formed a wonderful union.
If you are seeking a book that you can share to not only your friends, but to your daughters, this is the book. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I simply could not put this book down.
These authors truly go along with the theme of this blog. They are strong women who represent their faith in God with integrity. I feel honored to be part of their Launch team of this new book. May there be many more.
