One of my very near and dear friends who I trust with my whole heart suggested a book for me to read the other day. I love books, could read them 12 hrs out of the day. But boy do I hate a bad book, even when it is bad, I feel like I have to finish, so I trudge through it and it becomes somewhat painful.
However, she is one of those people who I can trust will give me a great book. And this time was no different. There were 2, I could only afford one, it was in hard back and not in the library :(
Anyway, I started to read and immediately knew why I was going to LOVE this book. It is a novel, very heartfelt all about people, their feelings, their lives and it spanned 3 generations. The author did a near perfect job of allowing you to be in 3 different generations but see how the lives of all 3 were intertwined.
I'm still processing the book, I read it is 4 days, I just couldn't put it down. And it wasn't one of those feel good, everything works out perfect in the end. I think that is truly why I loved it, it was life and it was a tragedy, but life continues and you see how even if one life ends up tragic it doesn't have to doom the future generations.
I am very interested in generational curses and blessings, always have been so I think the deeper spiritual meaning that I loved about it was this aspect.
Anyway, if you want a GREAT book, read the Forgotten Garden. I've promised by copy out, but if you are interested we can all just pass it around.
