Book Club

This summer I decided to try and get some good reading in and I am happy to say that I managed to make my way through two rather large novels written by Francine Rivers. The first book was called "Her Mothers Hope" and the second part of the two book series was "Her Daughters Dream".  I have to say that I really enjoyed both books, and more than that it really gave me a few things to think about.
Often in life we don't understand what makes someone who they really are. What their childhood was like and what makes them act certain ways or show love in ways that are often time unrecognizable. That is exactly what these two books do.


"Her Mothers Hope" and "Her Daughters Dream" explore the complicated relationship between mother and daughter over several generations. The women of this story go through so much that at times you just want to cry with them as they face the harsh circumstances that life brings them. Ultimately each woman is forced to face her faulty but well meaning desire to help her daughter find her God given place in this world. Francine Rivers has written a wonderful story and as always her writing is completely captivating and life changing.  She has the ability to take you on a journey and somehow always teach you something about your relationship with others and most importantly your relationship with God. If you are looking for a good read and one that will get your heart and head engaged I can't recommend it enough! Happy reading!
